A VR game has been created that improves vision

Researchers from Kwansei Gakuin University have created a VR game that can improve vision. They gathered a small group of participants for an initial study. People played for six weeks, showing good results.

The game is very simple, in which you need to shoot at targets. Its mechanics are built around eye training. The player sees three tracks with round targets, each of which stands on a stick. By pressing a button on the controller, a person activates a virtual laser, when aimed at the strip, the aiming mode is turned on. In the center of the target is a symbol in the form of a Landolt C ring, which is traditionally used in Japan to test vision.

During the virtual game, a person constantly switches focus between targets at different distances. This allows the ciliary muscles of the eye, responsible for focusing, to work. Such training helps improve vision.

The study involved 10 young people aged 22 to 36. All of them showed improved vision as a result of the experiment. In people with myopia, the growth of vision was closely related to the frequency of the game.

Recall that a competitor of Neuralink installed the first brain chip in a person.
