“…Recently there has been increasing interest in using VR in research based around visual impairments. Some examples include walking canes that work in VR to allow visually impaired people to navigate a virtual world [15], analysing the wayfinding ability of those with glaucoma compared to those with normal vision in VR [16], assessing if VR is a viable assistive technology for the visual impaired (it was found that it can be) [17], and also attempting to develop an objective measure of a person's visual field using VR [18]. Research done related to AMD has investigated creating assistive technologies using VR to help those with AMD by magnifying parts of the user's view to compensate for their vision loss [19].…”

Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the developed world and primarily affects the older population. This project developed a virtual reality (VR) simulation of AMD that allows users to alter the intensity of the impairments while using the simulation, as well as offering a guided timelapse of the possible progression of the condition. The simulation also demonstrates Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS), showing numerous different types of visual hallucinations that may occur alongside AMD.

Visual impairments often pose serious restrictions on a visually impaired person and there is a considerable number of persons, especially among aging population, which depend on assistive technology to sustain their quality of life. Development and testing of assistive technology for visually impaired requires gathering information and conducting studies on both healthy and visually impaired individuals in a controlled environment. We propose test setup for visually impaired persons by creating RFID based assistive environment – Visual Impairment Friendly RFID Room. The test setup can be used to evaluate RFID object localization and its use by visually impaired persons. To certain extent every impairment has individual characteristics as different individuals may better respond to different subsets of visual information. We use virtual reality prototype to both simulate visual impairment and map full visual information to the subset that visually impaired person can perceive. Time-domain color mapping real-time image processing is used to evaluate the virtual reality prototype targeting color vision deficiency.
