Read full description

Dilate is an advanced vision therapy application which uses machine learning and augmented reality to strengthen eye muscles and raise conscious control of vision acuity. Basic steps are provided below with a learning center in development! * Step 1: Find a piece of clearly printed text on a contrasting background. (i.e - white text and black background.) * Step 2: Open the app and hold as far from your face as possible at eye level. * Step 3: Begin bringing the phone back to your face until the text cannot be seen through the dilate image unless you relax your focus (similar to looking through a store window). * Step 4: You should now be looking through the image and focusing on the text behind it. * Step 5: Play with the distance as the machine learning works differently on each device. NOTE: Text behind the image should be clear but you should be able to easily play with your focus like a store window to either look _through_ the image or at the image itself. That's it! As you do this exercise you should feel some interesting things happening in your eyes. We hope you're hooked and please share your experiences! More sophisticated exercises, videos, and research are in the works! * EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ * Terms of Use: https://dilate.info/terms/ * Privacy Policy: https://dilate.info/privacy/

Two tasks. 45 rounds each. Zero distractions. Cognitive science was my major. This app is my elective. It’s a memory experiment and a Stroop task. Minimal. Unambitious. Oddly satisfying. In one, tap the flashing circles in order. In the other, name the ink color while ignoring the word. Both test your brain. Both time your reactions. Both hand you a CSV to analyze or forget about β€” I'll leave that last part up to you. No ads. No accounts. No pushy reminders. Just you, your cognitive system, and a UI that refuses to entertain. What it does: β€’ Lets you choose between a memory or Stroop task β€’ Runs for 45 rounds, then stops β€” mercifully β€’ Tracks your timing and accuracy β€’ Exports a CSV β€” because of course it does β€’ Works offline, even if your brain doesn’t β€’ Includes built-in delays so you can’t game the system (Trust me, I’ve tried)
