Car­men Bisog­ni, Assis­tant Pro­fes­sor, Depart­ment of Com­put­er Sci­ence, Uni­ver­si­ty of Saler­no, Ital­ie don­nera un sémi­naire  le jeu­di 14 novem­bre de 14h à 15h, à l’am­phi Gauss.

Titre du sémi­naire : Lever­ag­ing Extend­ed Real­i­ty for Adap­tive Ther­a­py in Child­hood Stra­bis­mus and Ambly­opia: Fea­si­bil­i­ty and Future Directions

Résumé : Stra­bis­mus is one of the most preva­lent eye dis­eases in chil­dren. Crossed eyes, often known as squint­ing, is a mis­align­ment of the eyes that caus­es them to point in sep­a­rate direc­tions. As a result of the brain’s response to eye mis­align­ment, those young­sters may devel­op ambly­opia. Ambly­opia, often known as lazy eye, is a dis­or­der char­ac­ter­ized by impaired vision in one eye. In both cas­es, ear­ly detec­tion is crit­i­cal to pre­vent­ing visu­al loss. Fur­ther­more, treat­ment is most suc­cess­ful in chil­dren, when the ear­ly indi­ca­tors of ambly­opia and stra­bis­mus may be iden­ti­fied. In this sem­i­nar, we will inves­ti­gate the pos­si­bil­i­ties of using extend­ed real­i­ty-based apps to treat chil­dren’s stra­bis­mus and ambly­opia. A review of the lit­er­a­ture on XR for those dis­or­ders is per­formed, and the lim­its and gaps in cur­rent approach­es are iden­ti­fied. A fea­si­bil­i­ty study is done to deter­mine if com­mer­cial­ly mar­ket­ed sen­sors are suit­able for usage in schools and preschool set­tings. Two fea­si­bil­i­ty stud­ies in VR and AR are pro­vid­ed to demon­strate poten­tial adap­tive ther­a­py frame­works for stra­bis­mus and infan­tile ambly­opia. The eye track­ing tools are analysed to high­light their applic­a­bil­i­ty to visors and their lim­i­ta­tions when applied to this disease.
