Low Vision Simulator vs My Eyes Vision Simulator

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.

Vision Loss, Visualized. My Eyes Vision Simulator lets you experience what the world looks like through the eyes of someone living with a visual impairment. Designed as an advocacy tool for the visually impaired, educators (especially TCVIs & O&Ms), caregivers, rehabilitation professionals, family members and anyone who wants to better understand blindness and low vision. Apply real-time visual effects to sample photographs or your live camera feed and see firsthand how different eye conditions affect everyday activities like reading, navigating a street, riding the bus, or shopping for groceries. VISUAL EFFECTS YOU CAN SIMULATE: • Visual Acuity — Blur the image from 20/20 all the way to light perception, following the Snellen acuity scale • Contrast Sensitivity — Wash out the difference between light and dark, from mild to profound • Glare Difficulties — Simulate photophobia and light sensitivity • Peripheral Field Loss — Narrow the field of vision from a full 180 degrees down to just a few degrees • Central Field Loss — Add a blind area in the center of vision, measured in degrees, to simulate macular degeneration and other conditions • Draw Field Loss — Draw your own areas of vision loss with your finger to simulate hemianopias, blind spots away from center, or patchy field loss • Color Blindness — Simulate protanopia, deuteranopia, tritanopia, or achromatopsia (total color blindness) DESIGNED FOR ACCESSIBILITY: My Eyes was built from the ground up with VoiceOver support. Every slider, button, and control includes descriptive labels, hints, and real-time value announcements, and you can even draw field loss with VoiceOver. The app supports larger text sizes, including the largest accessibility sizes, and uses large, high-contrast slider controls. All 24 sample images include detailed accessibility descriptions, and the built-in guide includes VoiceOver tips for every feature.
