User reviews

Simple simulator

I teach a class about aging and wanted a tool that could help stimulate various changes in vision and vision disorders that may be experienced. While this may not be as effective as an app that could be used with a VR headset, it is helpful to create illustrations of what it looks like to lose field of vision, experience macular degeneration, or just to go about life in the wrong prescription. All settings are adjusted on a sliding scale. I found it simple and functional.
