Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Aging global population increases the relevance of neurodegenerative disorders.
  • Saccadic eye movement assessment offers objective metrics for understanding neurological symptoms.
  • Virtual reality (VR) technology presents novel avenues for medical assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the VIVE Pro Eye VR headset as a tool for assessing saccadic eye movements.
  • To investigate the technical capabilities of the VIVE Pro Eye's integrated eye-tracking system.
  • To compare VR-based saccadic metrics with established findings.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a VR-based saccadic eye movement measurement system using Unity.
  • Followed an international standard protocol for saccade measurement.
  • Measured saccadic eye movements (latency, peak velocity, error rate) in seven healthy young adults using the VIVE Pro Eye.

Main Results:

  • Pro-saccade task: latency 220.40 ± 43.16 ms, peak velocity 357.90 ± 111.99°/s, error rate 0.24 ± 0.41%.
  • Anti-saccade task: latency 343.35 ± 76.42 ms, peak velocity 318.79 ± 116.69°/s, error rate 0.66 ± 0.76%.
  • Pupil diameter measurements were also recorded for both tasks.

Conclusions:

  • The VIVE Pro Eye shows potential as an assessment tool for saccadic eye movements, with results comparable to previous studies.
  • Technical limitations, particularly in time-related parameters, were identified.
  • Further research with diverse populations and refined protocols is recommended to enhance the system's reliability and scope.
