“…Multi-focus displays, such as Akeley et al [2004] and Hoffman et al [2005], can enhance visual acuity by projecting images on the subject's range of accommodation. Goldring et al [2006] has adapted a display with lenses to focus the image on the center of the eye lens improving readability. In the same way, Liu and Hua [2009], and Rolland et al [2000] have introduced dynamic lenses that change the plane of focus and a stack of planes that are selectively illuminated to create volumetric head-mounted displays.…”

We introduce tailored displays that enhance visual acuity by decomposing virtual objects and placing the resulting anisotropic pieces into the subject's focal range. The goal is to free the viewer from needing wearable optical corrections when looking at displays. Our tailoring process uses aberration and scattering maps to account for refractive errors and cataracts. It splits an object's light field into multiple instances that are each in-focus for a given eye subaperture. Their integration onto the retina leads to a quality improvement of perceived images when observing the display with naked eyes. The use of multiple depths to render each point of focus on the retina creates multi-focus, multi-depth displays. User evaluations and validation with modified camera optics are performed. We propose tailored displays for daily tasks where using eyeglasses are unfeasible or inconvenient (e.g., on head-mounted displays, ereaders, as well as for games); when a multi-focus function is required but undoable (e.g., driving for farsighted individuals, checking a portable device while doing physical activities); or for correcting the visual distortions produced by high-order aberrations that eyeglasses are not able to.

“…Many tend to confine themselves to known environments and lack the confidence to venture to new places [2]. In some cases, individuals may lose visual memory, from the simplest recognition of letters in the alphabet to the recollection of an acquaintance's face.…”

The Vision Group at the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed the Seeing Machine Camera (SMC) under the direction of Elizabeth Goldring, a visually challenged artist. The SMC is an innovative tool that enables artistic expression for those with decreased vision. The camera enhances the ability to see the face of a loved one, look at a painting in a museum, photograph landscapes or create digital artwork. For visually challenged artists who may feel isolated from their visual world, the SMC provides an opportunity to connect to the people around them, enjoy a greater sense of independence and expand their creativity.
