CVI-SIM

Sharing progress of the University of St Andrews CVI-SIM project, simulating cerebral visual impairment.

[CVI-SIM @cvisim]

Are you/do you support someone with CVI from the UK who is 16 or older?
We are recruiting for 2 research projects.
One is on-line and involves watching some videos, the other you will need to come to St Andrews (travel paid) for virtual reality headset study

Nice short video from @scotlandcvi showing the power of AI video - this one is about Light Gazing which can be extremely disabling for those with #CVI https://t.co/X8u1bBtfJA

3/3 Prof John Ravenscroft @Johnny_Ravo, Uni of Edinburgh, is leading a campaign to change this.
Have you or someone you know been affected by CVI not being recognised as a visual impairment, in sports or other areas? Email [email protected] to share your experience.

1/3 🧵 Interesting blog from CVI Scotland @scotlandcvi about CVI not being recognised in para sports—featuring an account of how Janina processes vision. Should CVI be classified as a visual impairment in sport? Read more: https://t.co/X2ewXOr8Iy

[CVI-SIM @cvisim]

2/3 The way Janina’s vision is described is similar to the visual experiences shown in this video. Imagine competing with this vision—and it not being recognised as a disadvantage. Watch here: https://t.co/OMofZ5DIhg

Our CVI-SIM programme was used to create this video for our colleagues @arclightprojec1 for yesterday's #smlates exhibition at the @sciencemuseum.
@StAndrewsCS @StAndMedicine @UStAResearch

[Arclight Project @arclightprojec1]

The video, created by our partners @scotlandcvi , attempts to show what it might be like to suffer from vision loss due to the major global causes while moving through the @sciencemuseum .

The Science Museum event was a fantastic chance to showcase our work to the public!

[CVI Scotland @scotlandcvi]

We made a 2 minute summary of visual impairments around the globe for our friends at @arclightprojec1 and @eyehealthafrica using @cvisim for yesterdays #smlates at the @sciencemuseum

Looks like an amazing evening.

[CVI-SIM @cvisim]

Great team, all CVI-SIM contributors. Thank you.

Many thanks to the Research Impact Team for featuring our work in their blog post, explaining its impact and enormous potential. @StAndMedicine @StAndrewsCS

🚨New Blog Post🚨

This week, we learn how Virtual Reality (VR) can help us understand how illness and disease is experienced by others. VR allows users to immerse themselves in lived experiences of others, often shedding new light on misconceptions.

Difficulties for children affected by CVI in mainstream schools can be considerable, affecting not just learning but friendships and mental health.

Identifying support is crucial.

Great to see one of our videos helped here @scotlandcvi .

[CVI Scotland @scotlandcvi]

Support in school for a child with CVI requires careful planning, to ensure the needs of the child, as far as possible, can work with the needs of their classes & school, for max inclusion.
Example here, mainstream school academically able child with CVI👇
