VR app uses AI shaders to treat lazy eye, developer reports

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has found a novel application for AI in vision therapy, using a VR headset and custom shaders to treat amblyopia, or lazy eye. The application, named Amblyotube, works by presenting distinct visual streams to each eye, with the dominant eye receiving a blurred or modified image and the affected eye receiving a sharpened focus on human figures. This approach, running entirely on the device without external servers, has reportedly helped the developer regain a sense of depth and clarity in their vision after years of believing it was too late to treat.
