“…In EVIN, exploration (see Figure 5) is a game of discriminating and matching in which the child must find and click on all the elements that are identical to the test stimulus (among many nonidentical elements) to make them disappear [9]. The test stimulus is framed in the upper-left corner of the screen.…”

“…It is difficult to find a currently available application for visual training that provides typical visual exercises for young children and, at the same time, helps in the whole visual training process. This is why we implemented the Visual Stimulation on the Internet (EVIN) application, which provides games for exercising primary visual tasks [9]. In EVIN, each game can be configured by the expert for different visual tasks with different levels of difficulty.…”

Low vision is a visual impairment that cannot be improved by standard vision aids such as glasses. Therefore, to improve their visual skills, people affected by low vision usually follow a visual training program planned and supervised by an expert in this field. Visual training is especially suitable for children because of their plasticity for learning. However, due to a lack of specialists, training sessions are usually less frequent than optimal. Thus, home-based visual training has emerged as a solution to this problem because it can be undertaken by experts and families together. We implemented the Visual Stimulation on the Internet (EVIN) application, which provides comprehensive visual training tasks through games. It also provides reports on children's performance in these visual training tasks. Although EVIN has shown its usefulness in previous works, two main solutions are needed: (i) a support setup to help experts and families work together to address, among other things, the large variety of exercises and different configurations that can be prescribed and (ii) a rigorous experimental design to compare children trained with EVIN and those trained with traditional materials. To face these challenges, we present an adaptive version of EVIN that provides a new design tool that allows experts to plan visual training tasks through templates in advance. In addition, we developed new metrics and reports to achieve a more accurate assessment of a child's improvement. Among other results, it allowed us to develop an reliable experiment to evaluate significant improvements in children trained with EVIN.

En rehabilitación existen padecimientos o patologías que tienen una epidemiología más extensa que otras, es la razón por la que algunas llaman más la atención para investigar; sin embargo, a pesar de que las cifras en la discapacidad visual son elevadas, no se tiene suficiente información ni investigación acerca de este proceso de la rehabilitación, por lo que se tiene conocimiento limitado del tema.
