RU-2861658-C1 - PERIPHERAL VISION AND TEXT READING SPEED DEVELOPMENT TRAINER

Abstract

FIELD: learning tools. SUBSTANCE: peripheral vision and text reading speed development trainer relates to devices intended for improving visual skills and increasing reading speed. Such devices can be used for educational and medical purposes for training peripheral vision and improving the ability to quickly perceive textual information. The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the peripheral vision and text reading speed development trainer, including: (stationary relative to the student's eyes) a display connected to an image former, a distance sensor between the student's eye and the display, connected to the input of the image former, is characterised in that it contains a source of text information, the output of which is connected to the input of the image former, the image former contains a row and column generator distributing the text into columns and rows (in accordance with the size and resolution of the display, font size and text length) so that the text on the screen is displayed in the form of a table, with one word located in each cell of the table. A display, tablet, holographic projector, smartphone, virtual (augmented) reality helmet can act as a display medium. The words of the text can be arranged sequentially horizontally in columns from left to right (line by line). The words of the text can be arranged sequentially vertically in columns from top to bottom. The device may contain a microphone, the output of which is connected to the input of the image former. The device may contain a camera for tracking the student's gaze direction. EFFECT: increasing the efficiency of developing peripheral vision and reading speed by improving concentration and reducing fatigue; improving the result of obtaining the possibility of improving adaptability and personalisation. 11 cl, 1 dwg

Description

The Peripheral Vision and Text Reading Speed Trainer is a device designed to improve visual skills and increase reading speed. These devices can be used for educational and medical purposes to train peripheral vision and improve the ability to quickly perceive text information. Peripheral vision plays a vital role in spatial orientation and environmental perception. Peripheral vision training helps increase the amount of information received in a single gaze fixation, which is especially useful for students, schoolchildren, and those working with large volumes of text. Peripheral vision training methods may include Tibetan techniques and Schulte charts, which help improve visual skills and increase reading speed: https://www.ochkov.net/informaciya/stati/trenirovka-perifericheskogo-zreniya.htm https://nsk.excimerclinic.ru/press/perifericheskoe-zrenie/ https://www.elitarium.ru/bokovoe-zrenie-uprazhnenie-glaz-informaciya-nadpis-kniga-vnamanie-sposobnost-mozg-vospriyatie/ A “Method for Teaching Fast Reading” RU 94038307 [2] is known, which consists of forming text information on a carrier and subsequently reading it to ensure the possibility of expanding the angle of lateral vision, the text information on the carrier is formed by means of vertical columns with characters in rows, and the capacity of characters in the rows of subsequent columns is increased in comparison with the capacity of characters in the rows of previous columns, while the reading of text information is carried out along vertical columns, starting from columns with the minimum capacity of characters in the rows. The disadvantages of the device include: Limited adaptation to the individual characteristics of the student: The trainer doesn't take into account the individual abilities and adaptation rate of each learner. The gradual increase in character capacity of text lines may be too slow or too fast for some users, which may slow down the learning process or cause discomfort. Lack of feedback: The simulator cannot provide sufficient feedback to the trainee about his progress and the effectiveness of training, which can make it difficult for him to independently adjust the learning process. Lack of consideration of foveal rendering (physiology) of the learner's eyes, which reduces the effectiveness of learning. The closest to the claimed technical solution is “A method of interactive television using the foveation properties of the eyes of individual and group users and protecting video information from unauthorized access, distribution and use” RU 2220514 [1], which includes: a display that is stationary relative to the student’s eyes and connected to an image generator, a sensor for the distance between the student’s eye and the display, connected to the input of the image generator. The known solution allows for foveation rendering to be taken into account, which somewhat improves the training efficiency. The disadvantage of the known solution is the insufficient increase in the effectiveness of developing peripheral vision and reading speed. The technical result increases the effectiveness of peripheral vision development and reading speed by improving concentration and reducing fatigue. The result is further enhanced by the ability to improve adaptability and personalization. The technical result is achieved in that a trainer for developing peripheral vision and text reading speed, including: a display (fixed relative to the eyes of the student) connected to an image generator, a sensor for measuring the distance between the student's eye and the display, connected to the input of the image generator, is characterized by the fact that it contains a source of text information, the output of which is connected to the input of the image generator, the image generator contains a generator of rows and columns, distributing the text into columns and columns (in accordance with the size and resolution of the display, the font size and the length of the text) in such a way that the text on the screen is displayed in the form of a table, with one word located in each cell of the table. Implementation: The drawing shows a block diagram of the simulator, where: 1 - display device; 2 - image former; 3 - source of text information; 4 - parameter accounting unit; 5 - recess for LED strip; 6 - distance sensor; 7 - distance meter; 8 - camera; 9 - eye position indicator; 10 - microphone; 11 - voice control device; 12 - user. The device operates as follows: Display unit 1 receives information from image generator 2, which in turn receives information from text source 3 and from parameter recording unit 4. The parameter recording unit outputs the font size, and the row and column generator, included in the image generator, distributes the text into rows and columns in accordance with the font size and the length of the displayed text. Parameter recording unit 4 receives information from distance measuring unit 7, to which distance sensor 6 is connected
