Simulation of Eye Diseases
ZEISS Vision

How do people with visual impairments experience their environment?

With an impressive virtual reality simulation by ZEISS and NMY, we can experience what it is like to live with a visual impairment. This interactive experience demonstrates how various eye diseases affect the daily lives of those affected. People with visual impairments face many challenges that often go unnoticed. Our mission is to create understanding and provide support.

Playful simulations
A round of table tennis in the Zeiss Vision Lab?

Here in the ZEISS Vision Lab, you can experience what it's like to play table tennis with vision impairments such as scotoma or cataracts. Choose an eye disease and take on the challenge: play a round of table tennis and feel how difficult it can be for those affected. This simulation offers you a deep insight into the daily hurdles faced by people with visual impairments.

State-of-the-art technologies
Immersive experience with impact

The innovative combination of virtual reality (VR) and eye tracking realistically simulates eye diseases. This technology precisely captures the users' gaze direction and eye movements, adjusting the simulation in real-time. This allows visual impairments to be authentically experienced, creating a deep understanding of the daily challenges faced by people with visual impairments.

For trade shows, events, and at the point of interest
Versatile application of VR technology

ZEISS's VR technology is flexible and easy to deploy, making it ideal for trade shows, events, and points of interest like optical shops. It's portable, quick to set up, and perfect for changing venues. This versatility allows for reaching a wide audience and effectively presenting engagement for visual health.

“The simulation was incredibly realistic. It's a great way to illustrate to our customers the impact of eye diseases and emphasize the importance of regular eye exams.”

Sabine Klein, Optician

“Thanks to eye-tracking technology, I was able to truly understand for the first time how macular degeneration affects the field of vision. This experience is a valuable tool for my consultations.”

Thomas Becker, Master Optician
