Visual impairment refers to a condition where a person's eyesight cannot be improved with medical treatment. Such individuals face difficulties in performing daily living activities independently and…
Our eyes are never at rest. Between the microsaccadic eye movements and microfluctuations of the eye's autofocus mechanism (ocular accommodation), our visual system constantly encounters time-varying…
Digital drawing has historically been a significant challenge for blind individuals, with previous solutions requiring extensive imagination and technical skills. However, the Coughlan lab has been…
I will present a system based on an iPhone app developed in the Coughlan Lab . This system is a novel “Point-and-Tap” interface that enables people who are blind or visually impaired (BVI) to easily…
I will describe our research into a surprising visual illusion in which humans misperceive the shape of a highly familiar object in a highly familiar context: their own mobile phone while they hold it…
Movement is ubiquitous in everyday life, and accounting for our physical position as we move through the world is a constant process. Over the lifespan, experience in estimating one’s position…
Unilateral amblyopia, a leading cause of childhood vision loss, demands early intervention for optimal treatment outcomes. Unfortunately, accurate screening tools specifically designed for…
