“…ET technology has been a successful research tool used in the clinical settings for the diagnosis of patients in psychology, neurology, and ophthalmology [40]. It is widely used in clinical applications for diagnostic and screening purposes or to detect various disorders and home-based rehabilitative treatments [41]. Graphical representations on a screen can both be attention catching and can be followed by subjects who cannot read.…”

Several children struggle with vision difficulties caused by problematic coordination between their left and right eye muscles, i.e., oculomotor dysfunction (OMD). Many OMDs can be improved by training the eyes via physical exercises defined and supervised by vision experts. The aim of this paper is to investigate the feasibility of utilizing Serious Games (SGs) and eye-tracking technologies (ETs) for training the eyes of children having OMD. Via these activities, a trainee can, with her eye gaze, follow objects which are moving, change their directions and speed, or pop up on the screen. The results present mapping the current physical training goals to activities for SGs using input from ETs, and illustrate this correspondence for designing and developing six games. The games’ feasibility evaluation is done via semistructured interviews and evaluating user experiences. Three vision teachers (VTs) were involved in design and development, ensuring achievement of training goals, and five VT students in evaluations. The findings demonstrate the potential of using SGs and ETs to train OMD and point to future needs for improvements.

“…In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in using eye-tracking computer programs to screen oculomotor behaviors of the eyes by reading or looking at the animated objects on a computer screen. RightEye [35] and C&Look [23] are the latest developments in the quest to create a new generation of software that can detect the signs and patterns of oculomotor problems (see Figure 2c).…”

“…Collecting vision measurements would improve vision assessment protocols and support progress evaluation during rehabilitation, training, or visual therapy. Objective measurements are possible using ETs [33,119,120], but ETs alone are not enough [23]. We must consider new user-friendly, accessible, and cost-effective specialized software tools to support the right interventions from stakeholders contributing to a broader investigation.…”

Many children have undetected vision problems or insufficient visual information processing that may be a factor in lower academic outcomes. The aim of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the importance of vision screening for school-aged children, and to investigate the possibilities of how eye-tracking (ET) technologies can support this. While there are indications that these technologies can support vision screening, a broad understanding of how to apply them and by whom, and if it is possible to utilize them at schools, is lacking. We review interdisciplinary research on performing vision investigations, and discuss current challenges for technology support. The focus is on exploring the possibilities of ET technologies to better support screening and handling of vision disorders, especially by non-vision experts. The data orginate from a literature survey of peer-reviewed journals and conference articles complemented by secondary sources, following a rapid review methodology. We highlight current trends in supportive technologies for vision screening, and identify the involved stakeholders and the research studies that discuss how to develop more supportive ET technologies for vision screening and training by non-experts.

“…Vision exercises can improve the eye muscles effectively so trainers can more easily control their eye muscles and improve their stability. While these disorders influence the whole population, the most vulnerable are children, many of whom are suffering from undetected problems [6,7]. At the same time, early recognition, and training could improve the sight of patients, positively influencing their reading capacity [8,9].…”

Eye-tracking technologies (ETs) and serious games (SGs) have emerged as new methods promising better support for vision screening and training. Previous research has shown the practicality of eye-tracking technology for vision screening in health care, but there remains a need for studies showing that the effective utilization of SGs and ETs are beneficial for vision training. This study investigates the feasibility of SGs and ETs for vision training by designing, developing, and evaluating a prototype influenced by commercially available games, based on a battery of exercises previously defined by vision experts. Data were collected from five participants, including a vision teacher, through a user experience questionnaire (UEQ) following a mixed method. Data analysis of the UEQ results and interviews highlighted the current challenges and positive attitudes in using SGs and ET for vision training. In conjunction with UEQ indicators such as attractiveness and perspicuity, the stimulation of the vision training battery based on the user experience provided insights into using ETs and further developing SGs to better approach different eye movements for vision training.
