Aberration Compensated Displays for Personalized Vision Correction
Brian A. Barsky, Professor
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
Closed. This professor is continuing with Fall 2023 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Spring 2024.
This project is investigating algorithmic vision correction for the user of a display based on his or her spectacles prescription in simple cases or based on measurements of the optical aberrations of his or her vision in more complex cases. Our approach is to compute an altered display that when viewed by the particular individual user would appear in sharp focus for this particular individual. Since some visual impairments involve irregular astigmatism and high order optical aberrations which are impossible to correct with spectacle lenses, the proposed research could provide the opportunity to use display devices for the first time to those for whom this has been heretofore impossible due to their suffering from these ocular conditions.
