Summary

The investigators are developing a new test of pedestrian hazard detection in virtual reality (VR) head-mounted display (HMD) headset, which shows virtual oncoming pedestrians in 3D while subjects are walking in real-world environment, for evaluation of visual field expansion to improve mobility in people with visual field loss.

Conditions

  • Hemianopsia
  • Homonymous Hemianopia
  • Tunnel Vision
  • Visual Field Defect, Peripheral
  • Visual Field Constriction Bilateral
  • Visual Field Defect Homonymous Bilateral

Interventions

OTHER

Field expansion view

Overlaid small window on HMD to show the part of the scene in the blind field into portions of the participants' remaining, seeing, field of vision
