  • Patent number: 5812239
    Abstract: An arrangement for enhancing vision and/or hand-eye coordination includes a foldable or bendable sheet. The sheet carries a circular array of annular pads, and a light-emitting diode fits in the center of each pad. The pads and light-emitting diodes can be connected to a microprocessor which, in turn, can be connected to a display unit. The microprocessor can be programmed to illuminate the light-emitting diodes in different sequences. The sheet is suspended and a subject stands in front of the sheet. As different light-emitting diodes are illuminated, the subject attempts to follow the motion with her/his eyes. Alternatively, the subject attempts to extinguish an illuminated light-emitting diode by touching, or propelling an object against, the associated pad. The microprocessor can establish a score or rating for the subject, and the results can be shown on the display unit.
