TLDR
An approach towards developing a virtual reality based low-cost head-mounted device (HMD) that can detect eye disorders like visual acuity, astigmatism, color vision deficiency, and age-related macular degeneration, limiting the involvement of healthcare professionals is presented.Abstract:
Eye disorders like myopia, hypermetropia, and color blindness affect millions of people around the world. Early detection can help the affected persons take preventive measures against further degradation. However, early detection requires regular testing and visits to trained healthcare professionals to judge the level of disorder. The customization of the test requirements can simplify the method of diagnosis. This paper presents an approach towards developing a virtual reality based low-cost head-mounted device (HMD). The standalone HMD can detect eye disorders like visual acuity, astigmatism, color vision deficiency, and age-related macular degeneration, limiting the involvement of healthcare professionals. We did a user study to test the accuracy of our prototype against various optical test scenarios. The study revealed that the prototype achieved an overall accuracy of 93%. We further aim to deploy the device in economically vulnerable communities with limited access to healthcare infrastructure.read more

TL;DR: A series of regression models were fitted to estimate the proportion of moderate or severe vision impairment and blindness by cause, age, region, and year, and found that world regions varied markedly in the causes of blindness and vision impairment in this age group.

A Comparison of Distance Estimation in HMD-Based Virtual Environments with Different HMD-Based Conditions
TL;DR: Examining several different systems in two experiments finds that weight and field of view restrictions heightened underestimation in the Rift DK1, but in general, commodity-level HMDs provided more accurate estimates of distance than the prior generation of HMTs.
