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!

This app is solely designed to challenge your brain’s visual processing.

This app consists of four simple games using Gabor patch images. (2nd) What is a Gabor patch The Gabor patch was introduced in the New York Times in 2017 and became a hot topic. It is a kind of striped pattern created by a mathematical process called Gabor transformation. It was developed by Dr. Dennis Gabor, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971 for his invention of holography. It was originally thought that viewing Gabor-transformed images is likely to affect the visual cortex of the brain. Because of its action on the visual cortex of the brain, it is said to be effective not only for nearsightedness but also for presbyopia, astigmatism, and farsightedness. How to play ◎Gabor Tap If you tap the target of the flowing Gabor image with your finger, you will score. If you keep tapping, you will run out of bullets, so tap the upper left cartridge to refill. It will finish in 30 seconds. @Gabor Puzzle Tap two Gabor images that are lined up to change the position. If you change the position and line up 3 or more of the same Gabor images, the images will disappear and you will get points. @Gabor Shooting Hit the Gabor image falling from the top with the shooting target below. If you hit it, you get a score. Hold time is 20 seconds. Shoot the falling Gabor image to increase 3 seconds. It ends when it reaches 0 seconds. (This is a demo version) @Gabor Wide A wide version with more images of the popular Gabor touch game in the first installment. If you tap the same Gabor image, it will disappear, and when it all disappears, you will go to the next stage. Each game can be one, or you can play more than one. Challenge yourself with your daily goals. On the other hand, if you continue for too long, your eyes will get tired, so be careful. @Goal calendar Each game, clearing a level or increasing your score will be counted and displayed on the goal calendar. You can switch the display of each game with the lower button. When the daily target number set in the goal setting is reached, the display number turns red. Make it a goal to have all your favorite games displayed in red each month.
