  • Publication number: 20200085298
    Abstract: A device for monitoring eye movement and pupil response that comprises a first optical pathway for displaying one or more images to the eyes of a patient and a second optical pathway for obtaining images of the eyes of a patient. The device further comprises at least one screen for displaying an image to the left eye of the patient which is not visible to the right eye of the patient and for displaying an image to the right eye of the patient which is not visible to the left eye of the patient; a first camera for capturing images of the left eye of the patient; and a second camera for capturing images of the right eye of the patient at substantially the same time as the first camera is capturing images of the left eye of the patient. The device also comprises at least one IR light source for illuminating the eyes of the patient; and a processor for processing the obtained images and measuring pupil response and/or eye movements.

  • Publication number: 20190216311
    Abstract: A method for evaluating retinal function and testing the visual field of a patient by monitoring how the patient tracks a target image on a display that comprises displaying the target image on the display such that if is located at a first position on the display and visible to the patient. The process continues by identifying what portion of the display the patient is looking at, selecting a location of the patient's retina to test, and calculating, based at least in part on what portion of the display the patient is looking at, a second position on the display corresponding to the selected location of the patient's retina. The target image is displayed at the second position on the display and the process identifies how many eye movements the patient made to look at the target at the second position. Based at least in part on the number of eye movements, the process determines whether the patient was able to see the target at the second position.

  • Publication number: 20170060889
    Abstract: A system and method of searching for physical media articles available from article dispensing machines within a geographic proximity is provided. Searching may include matching keywords in search criteria or using predefined search criteria for browsing of static or dynamic listings of media content. The method includes receiving a search request including search criteria, and searching the metadata database for a physical media article matching the search criteria. The method also includes determining the availability of the matching media article at an article dispensing machine. The geographic location of article dispensing machines with available matching media articles is determined, based on personally identifying information such as an IP or MAC address. The geographic location may be limited by a proximity from an audio/visual display interface. A search result set with the matching media articles is provided, based on their availabilities.
