A simple game app using Gabor Patch images. This app is a simple game app aimed at continuously watching Gabor Patch images without getting bored. 〇What is Gabor Patch? It is a kind of striped pattern created by mathematical processing called the Gabor transform. It was developed by Dr. Dennis Gabor, the 1971 Nobel Prize in Physics winner for his invention of holography. Originally, it was thought that looking at Gabor Patch transform images is likely to act on the visual cortex of the brain, and improvements were observed when used to restore eyesight with its adaptability. Looking at Gabor Patch images is said to be effective not only for myopia but also for presbyopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia, due to their effects on the visual cortex of the brain. 〇Game level Each of the three games has three levels (difficulty): Light, General, and Many. Choose your favorite game and your favorite level and challenge yourself so that you can continue playing every day. 〇Gabor Patch Game(Gabor Touch) Tap on the Gabor Patch image with the same pattern to erase it, and a new screen will appear when all are erased. 〇Gabor Scope Game(Gabor Scope) Find and tap the same Gabor Patch image as the image in the top Scope, it will disappear. When all disappear, you can move on to the next level. 〇 Gabor One Game(Gabor One) Display multiple Gabor patch images. I have a single image with no identical images. The game will be cleared by tapping all of the single images. 〇Goal calendar When you clear one side of each game, the number will be counted and displayed on the goal calendar. When you set and clear a daily goal, the number displayed on the goal calendar will turn red. Make it your goal to have all of your favorite games and levels displayed in red every month. 〇Daily calendar You can check the calendar every day when you used this app. It might be a good idea to try and aim for 30 days first.

Can you improve your vision? Vision research says yes! Our brain is capable of many things. If you've ever played an instrument or a sport, you already know that the more you practice or train, the better and stronger you get. Much of this has to do with how your brain coordinates your activity. But beyond these activities, the brain is capable of improving in almost every area. This includes improving the way we see the world around us. When we look at an object, our eyes take all that visual information that we see and pass it on to the brain for processing. This information passes into the visual cortex of the brain where we interpret what we see. It turns out that the brain processes this visual information through distinct patterns. These patterns can be closely approximated by something called gabor patches. Challenging your brain by looking at these patterns can strengthen the way we process vision. It's like practice for your eyes. Galaxy Vision is a fun vision training app utilizing these gabor patches. Instructions are pretty simple. Identify the correct orientation of the image. As you successfully select the correct image, the difficulty will increase significantly. This won't be easy; this is meant to be challenging. The best way to use Galaxy Vision is to use it regularly. The more work you put in, the more work you can get out. Take your vision to the next galaxy! Note: This app is not intended to be used for the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease. This app is solely designed to challenge your brain’s visual processing.
