VisionaryVR: An Optical Simulation Tool for Evaluating and Optimizing
  Vision Correction Solutions in Virtual Reality
Benedikt W. Hosp Martin Dechant Yannick Sauer Rajat Agarwala Siegfried Wahl
Developing and evaluating vision science methods require robust and efficient
tools for assessing their performance in various real-world scenarios. This
study presents a novel virtual reality (VR) simulation tool that simulates
real-world optical methods while giving high experimental control to the
experiment. The tool incorporates an experiment controller, to smoothly and
easily handle multiple conditions, a generic eye-tracking controller, that
works with most common VR eye-trackers, a configurable defocus simulator, and a
generic VR questionnaire loader to assess participants' behavior in virtual
reality. This VR-based simulation tool bridges the gap between theoretical and
applied research on new optical methods, corrections, and therapies. It enables
vision scientists to increase their research tools with a robust, realistic,
and fast research environment.
