AR Eye vs Low Vision Simulator

See what the world would look like if you had an eye disease that threatened your sight like glaucoma and four other eye diseases. Explore the human eye using augmented reality with AR Eye brought to you by Prevent Blindness®! Download and launch the app, and aim the vision simulator at the image you want to see through the eyes of someone with vision challenges. Or, aim your device’s camera at any flat surface such as the floor or a table, and experience a virtual walk-through of a human eye. AR Eye has three modes: an animation mode that explains how our vision works, an interactive mode that allows you to select and learn more about the parts that make up our eyes and an impaired vision simulator which simulates what it would be like to have five different eye diseases.

This application simulates symptoms of low vision vision. It can reproduce blur, glare, tunnel vision, central scotoma and nystagmus. It can also simulate complex situations such as glare and tunnel vision at the same time. It allows users to share their low-vision settings and take photos and videos during the simulation. Additionally, it can connect remotely to another device to adjust the effects while previewing the simulation.
