Applications of cross reality technologies for low-vision

• High tech vision aid systems for low-vision patients: Vision aid systems for low-vision patients is an application domain with commercial products already existing. A variety of XR solutions are on the market using different kinds of platforms (dedicated or large public ones) and offering different kinds of functionalities (magnification, enhancement, text to speech, face and object recognition). Our goal is to propose new solutions to help patients in a given task.

• Serious games (Serious games are games designed for a primary purpose which is not pure entertainment. In our context, we think about serious games as a way to help low vision patients in performing rehabilitation exercises.) for rehabilitation: Since cross reality technology is now becoming available for the large public, it is a promising platform to develop new rehabilitation exercises.

• Cognitive research: A new trend in cross reality technology is to include eye-tracking so that these platforms could also be very efficient to conduct cognitive and behavioural research on a large scale.
