Patents Assigned to Vivid Vision, Inc.
  • Patent number: 12419513
    Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing and/or treating visual disorders, such as discorder in accommodative ability and/or vergence ability, of a person are provided. Assessment and training exercises can be performed utilizing a computerized system in communication with a head-mountable display (HMD), such as a virtual or augmented reality display, which can display visual targets at various vergence and accommodative demands. Lenses, such as inverted bifocal lenses, may be used in combination with the HMD to mimic natural accommodative demand during viewing or to enable assessment and treatment of accommodation disorders. Corrective factors can be calculated and utilized for generation of visual targets to account for lens characteristics and/or interpupillary distance mismatch.

  • Patent number: 12161410
    Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing a visual field of a person are provided. Information can be presented to a person undergoing a visual field testing in a manner that utilizes the person's natural tendency to look at an object that is displayed so that it attracts the person's attention. A fixation target can be displayed on a display viewed by a user. Once it is determined that the user has viewed the fixation target and the person's eye(s) location is determined, a test target is displayed on the display in a location corresponding to a location on the user's visual field. The test target is determined to be either detected or missed based on user input acquired as the user is viewing the display.

  • Patent number: 9706910
    Abstract: Systems and methods for assessing vision and correcting vision problems are provided. A head-mountable virtual reality display controlled via a computing device can be worn by a user to display virtual reality images to the user. The images can be displayed as part of an interactive and engaging activity that can be used to determine a value of a certain parameter of the user's eyes. The activity can also be intended as a treatment procedure during which user's eyes are trained to perceive objects having certain properties that unassisted eyes of the user are normally not able to perceive. User input is acquired to determine user's perception of the displayed virtual reality images. The computing device can be a smartphone configured to perform the vision tests or treatment under control of a remote computing device operated by a trained clinician.
