Visual Vertical makes high-grade subjective visual vertical (SVV) testing accessible to every practitioner — no expensive equipment required. SVV testing is a sensitive, validated measure for brainstem lesions and otolithic dysfunction, widely used in neurology and vestibular rehabilitation. Until now, accurate testing required bulky, costly apparatus. Visual Vertical changes that: all you need is your iPhone, a bucket, and a small piece of Blu Tack. How it works Mount your iPhone inside the bottom of a bucket using Blu Tack. The patient holds the bucket to their face and adjusts a line on screen until it appears vertical to them. The app records the deviation and calculates your result — accurate readings in minutes, at a fraction of the traditional cost. What you can measure - Left eye, right eye, or both eyes open - Single readings or full sequences across all conditions - One or three readings per condition, with automatic averaging Clean, minimal results screens make it easy to record and communicate findings.

The GoVivid iOS app is a companion application to GoVivid's custom proprietary hardware. The hardware includes a handheld remote as well as a bluetooth head tracker. The GoVivid iOS application pairs to the Handheld using an ad-hoc hotspot generated by the Handheld. The iOS application pairs to the Head Tracker. The iOS app, Handheld, and Head Tracker all work together to empower the user with a number of auditory features. These features inform the user of their surroundings, all using spatialized audio, and each tailored for a different purpose. The "Room Scanner" feature informs the user the amount of space in the direction that they point the Handheld to. The "Floor Scanner" feature informs the user of any elevation in front of them through the use of spatialized clicks to denote height. The "CV Scanner" feature informs the user of what object is in the direction that they point the Handheld to. The" CV Search" feature informs the user of where an object is that they request.
