A system capable of improving the dynamic visual acuity of athletes using VR appeared

" SyncThink " is a company that develops a device "Eye-Sync" which can combine virtual reality (VR) headset and neurotechnology and brain analysis and can diagnose eye movement disorder, vestibular dysfunction etc. That SyncThink announces new software, and it seems that it will be possible to train " dynamic visual acuity " which becomes important in many sports even if it is a healthy athlete.

SyncThink's newly developed software to train dynamic vision is intended to support the rehabilitation process by using sports athletes in timing such as injuries and rehabilitation. It can train the ability to be applied to sports during rehabilitation, and it also leads to prevention of injury. The software is said to be linked with the service which SyncThink has provided so far, the user can obtain feedback instantaneously in real time and can perform gradual training.

Jam Ghajar, founder and chief scientific adviser for SyncThink, said, "Even among healthy volunteers, some athletes have a certain" vision that is not optimal for doing sports " However, these people can optimize visual acuity for sports by doing training focusing on a specific area of ​​the visual cortex.We will focus on dynamic vision and whole brain We developed a training that can quickly improve the performance of our products. "

According to Mr. Ghajar, it is said that research shows that people who are athletes but do not have visual acuity suitable for sports are liable to be injured. It is expected that such people will use SyncThink's new software to train dynamic vision, thereby reducing the risk of injury and improving performance as athletes themselves.

Laura Yecies, CEO of SyncThink, says, "Elite athletes need excellent visual coordination and predictive abilities to achieve high success in that field and at the same time to improve their skills as athletes I have a high motivation for it. " In other words, Mr. Yecies thinks that SyncThink's software, which can improve dynamic visual acuity, must be interested in many athletes.

In addition, some sports clubs and universities already have partnerships with SyncThink, NBA's Golden State Warriors , Pacific 12 Warriors , Pacific 12 Conference , University of Georgia etc. can use this software which can train healthy athletes' dynamic eyesight We are planning to do.
