Designing Vision Assessment and Vision
Therapy Games for Children
Computer Science and Software Engineering
Capstone Undergraduate Project
Author: Elaine Keller
Advisor: Bill Erdly
Project Overview
Develop tools for diagnosing & treating
vision problems in children
New approach: Vision Assessment &
Therapy games to aid in detecting vision
issues
Positive impact on children’s learning
Problem
Over 60% of children who have trouble
learning have undiagnosed vision
problems.
Most commonly used vision assessments
measure eye sight at a distance
A 20/20 eye chart test cannot diagnose
vision problems at close distances.
Convergence Insufficiency
Strabismus (crossed-eyes)
Amblyopia (lazy-eyes)
Condition where both eyes do not
point in the same direction.
Often associated as a progressive
eye condition caused by the eye
having Strabismus.
Solution
Visual Therapy Games
Help identify & treat children’s
near vision problems
Designed to be used by doctors,
nurses, teachers, parents and
children
Design
Touch screen devices
Built in HTML5 for cross
platform support
Research Method
Vision Clinics of Development
And Learning

Game Design
Game Characteristics
Fun and engaging
Challenging to keep kids interested
Not too difficult so children don’t
get frustrated
My Vision Assessment/Therapy Games
Mechanics
Tricky Trace
Mental Match Metrics
Trace the dotted line
to figure out what
picture/shape it is.
Duplicate the
shapes that are on
the small card
Timed games
How players pick and
trace shapes
Trace the dotted line to
figure out what
picture/shape it is.
My Vision Assessment/Therapy Games
Mechanics
Poke the Owls
Catch the Bugs Metrics
Tap the owls that
briefly appear all over
the spiral background
Tap the bugs that
appear from right to
left of the screen
Timed games
How many bugs and owls
players catch/miss on each
level
Add and contrasts owls
and bugs making them
hard to see as levels

Conclusion
Games are an important tool for identifying & treating visual
problems
Early identification and treatment is crucial
Undiagnosed problems will affect a child’s learning
Great tools: fun & cheap $
Next Steps
Create additional prototypes
User testing
Verify/adjust the metrics
Create new games
