This study implemented and tested a unique eye tracker-based computer game as training material for children with low vision in order to enhance their vision abilities. For the study, an eye tracker based eye training application for people with low vision was developed. It is a game that participant’s eyes follow the stimulus appearing on the screen. The training program was conducted for 3 weeks within 6 weeks period. The data gathered by single-subject research design methodology from an 8 years-old kid, who had approximately 5 percent vision abilities. The results have shown that use of eye tracker technologies might be appropriate to improve the vision abilities of the people with low vision.

Design and development of a game based eye training program for children with low vision Dönmez, Mehmet; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2020) This study explores the design principles of eye movement-based computer game applications as training material for children with low vision to enhance their vision skills. It aims to provide children with interactive materials to improve their vision. For the study, design-based research was employed in four phases, namely analysis, development, evaluation and testing, and documentation and reflection. In the analysis phase, a focus group meeting and interviews were conducted with experts from the field of...
Development of eye movement games for students with low vision: Single-subject design research Dönmez, Mehmet; Çağıltay, Kürşat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-01-01) The present study is about design and development of eye tracker-based eye training games. The aim of these games is to help students with low vision to improve their vision capabilities. The games are played with user's eye movements and the games response accordingly. This study consists of iterative and incremental development process of the eye movement games and single subject design research by using the final product with a participant. As a result, findings from single-subject design research and de...
Augmented reality activities for children: a comparative analysis on understanding geometric shapes and improving spatial skills Gecü-Parmaksız, Zeynep; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2017) The main purpose of this study is to compare the use of virtual manipulatives such as Augmented Reality (AR) applications to traditional techniques (physical manipulatives) for teaching geometric shapes and improve spatial skills to preschool children. The lesson content was determined, and the materials were designed for children. A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a public primary school with 72 participants. The children were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Spatial abil...
Improving the sight efficiency of visually impaired people with games that can be played with motion capture systems Konya, Oğuz; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Game Technologies (2014) This thesis researches whether the life skills and eye-body coordination of the visually impaired children can be improved through the use of video games which use motion capture system as input. It also researches what kind of video games can be developed and how they can be used in order to provide benefit to visually impaired children. This study was conducted as a mix of qualitative and quantitative studies. It was carried out in six phases. In the first phase, the psychomotor development areas of the v...
User interaction in hands-free gaming: a comparative study of gaze-voice and touchscreen interface control Uludagli, Muhtar Cagkan; Acartürk, Cengiz (2018-01-01) The goal of the present study is to contribute to the research on the use of eye tracking in hands-free gaming. We report the results of an experimental study by using a platform game designed by the authors. The game allowed gaze-voice command control, as well touchscreen control of the interface by the player. We employed a set of performance measures and we measured player engagement as an indicator of user experience. The findings revealed that the players did not improve in game performance when they u...
