ABSTRACT
Presbyopia is currently an unavoidable visual condition and will be even more severe with the aging generations worldwide. However, our daily activities often need more understanding and awareness of presbyopia. Various visual simulators are intensively explored better to understand others, especially the visually impaired ones. This research proposes an optical solution that simulates two primary visual representations of presbyopia: increased near-point and blurred vision within the near-point range. This initial study reveals the effectiveness of our approach when modulating people under their forties’ near-points over various age modes.

Using the eyes to encode and recognize social scenes
ETRA '06: Proceedings of the 2006 symposium on Eye tracking research & applicationsIn a previous study, we found that observers look mostly at the eyes when viewing natural scenes containing one or more people (Birmingham et al. submitted). This prioritization of eye regions occurred regardless of the type of scene being viewed (e.g. ...
A study of accommodation training by stereoscopic film presentation

This understanding has led to the accommo-dation training in which the visual target is ...
Just blink your eyes: a head-free gaze tracking system
CHI EA '03: CHI '03 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe propose a head-free, easy-setup gaze tracking system designed for a gaze-based Human-Computer Interaction.
