  2. Pinhole (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_(optics)

    This effect is also used in pinhole occluders, which are used by ophthalmologists, orthoptists, and optometrists to test visual acuity. The same principle has also been applied as an alternative to corrective lenses: a screen of pinholes is mounted on an eyeglass frame and worn as pinhole glasses.

  3. Pinhole occluder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinhole_occluder

    A pinhole occluder is an opaque disk with one or more small holes through it, used by ophthalmologists, orthoptists and optometrists to test visual acuity. The occluder is a simple way to focus light, as in a pinhole camera, temporarily removing the effects of refractive errors such as myopia. Because light passes only through the center of the ...

  4. Subjective refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_refraction

    An occluder is placed over the eye that is not being tested (e.g.: over the left eye, to test the right eye's vision). A pinhole occluder is then placed before the patient's eye, and their vision is then tested again (each eye separately) to determine if the patient's poor visual acuity is a result of optical irregularities, or pathological issues.

  5. Binasal occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binasal_occlusion

    According to a 2017 paper, [3] another hypothesis of the effectiveness of binasal occlusion in the treatment of Post Trauma Vision Syndrome, is the tape provides a stationary reference point that the brain can use to help decode the incoming visual information. The term Visual Motion Sensitivity is coined in this paper.

  6. Ambient occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_occlusion

    3D animation of ambient occlusion enabled on the animation to the right. In the absence of hardware-assisted ray traced ambient occlusion, real-time applications such as computer games can use screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) techniques such as horizon-based ambient occlusion including HBAO and ground-truth ambient occlusion (GTAO) as a faster approximation of true ambient occlusion ...

  7. Visual schedules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_schedules

    Visual schedules use a series of pictures to communicate a series of activities or the steps of a specific activity. [1] [2] They are often used to help children understand and manage the daily events in their lives. [3] They can be created using pictures, photographs, or written words, depending upon the ability of the child.

    Manufacturers of baby powder and cosmetic products made with talc will have to test them for asbestos under a proposal announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

  9. Visual literacy in education - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_literacy_in_education

    Teaching visual literacy in the classroom means many things from film, dance, and mime through the use of diagrams, maps and graphs to children's picture books. Visual texts can be found in books, the internet, environmental signage, TV, tablet devices and touch-screen machines like ATMs.
