Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed hosting multiple visual assessments, evaluating user performance on the assessments, and providing recommendations to assess and improve user visual performance. One method includes hosting a plurality of visual assessments; presenting, via a web portal, a user interface for selecting one or more visual assessments of the hosted plurality of visual assessments; receiving, via a web portal, a request for a user to access a visual assessment, wherein the visual assessment is an assessment out of the hosted plurality of assessments; administering the visual assessment to the user; receiving user performance data associated with a user, in response to the administered visual assessment; comparing the user performance data with performance data associated with one or more other users; and generating a report of user visual performance based on the user performance data, wherein the report is accessible to the user via the web portal.

receiving, via the hosting web platform, a request for a user to access a selected visual assessment, wherein the selected visual assessment is an assessment selected out of the hosted plurality of visual assessments;

selecting an eye tracker based on one or more requirements associated with the selected visual assessment;

administering the selected visual assessment to the user by presenting one or more stimuli to the user through the user interface on the hosting web platform;

receiving, from the selected eye tracker, eye tracking data associated with the user'"'"'s eye movements, in response to the presented one or more stimuli;

computing, using the hosting web platform, a value of an assessment-specific eye movement metric for the administered selected visual assessment based on the computed foundational eye movement metric;

comparing the value of the computed assessment-specific eye movement metric to an activity-specific score associated with individuals other than the user to compute a user-specific performance score; and

generating a display or report comprising the user-specific performance score.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein the assessment-specific metric corresponds to a defined physical activity,

wherein each of the hosted plurality of visual assessments corresponds to an identified physical activity,

wherein the foundational eye movement metric corresponds to multiple visual assessments of the hosted plurality of visual assessments regardless of the identified physical activity, and

wherein the assessment-specific eye movement metric corresponds to a particular visual assessment of the hosted plurality of visual assessments only if the defined physical activity of the assessment-specific eye movement metric matches the identified physical activity corresponding to the particular visual assessment.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving user subscription information; and

determining the selected visual assessment of the plurality of visual assessments, based on the received user subscription information.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

performing, using the hosting web platform and based on the selected test, a calibration test comprising a series of stimuli displayed to the user, wherein the eye tracking data is collected based on the calibration test.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining a sampling rate for collecting the eye tracking data, based on the foundational eye movement metric, and based on the assessment-specific eye movement metric of the selected visual assessment,

wherein the received eye tracking data is collected based on the determined sampling rate.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

generating a performance score for an individual other than the user, based on the computed value of the foundational eye movement metric.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

recommending one or more training or therapy drills to the user based on the computed value of the foundational eye movement metric, the computed value of the assessment-specific eye movement metric, or the user-specific performance score.

8. A system for hosting a plurality of visual assessments on a web platform, the system including:

a data storage device storing instructions for hosting a plurality of visual assessments;

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including;

hosting a plurality of visual assessments on a hosting web platform, each assessment evaluating a different aspect of visual performance;

computing a value of a foundational eye movement metric using raw data from multiple assessments of the hosted plurality of visual assessments, each of the multiple assessments evaluating different aspects of visual performance;

displaying a user interface on the hosting web platform, the user interface presenting the hosted plurality of visual assessments to a user for selection;

receiving, via the hosting web platform, a request for a user to access a selected visual assessment, wherein the selected visual assessment is an assessment selected out of the hosted plurality of visual assessments;

selecting an eye tracker based on one or more requirements associated with the selected visual assessment;

administering the selected visual assessment to the user by presenting one or more stimuli to the user through the user interface on the hosting web platform;

receiving, from the selected eye tracker, eye tracking data associated with the user'"'"'s eye movements, in response to the presented one or more stimuli;

computing, using the hosting web platform, a value of an assessment-specific eye movement metric for the administered selected visual assessment, based on the computed foundational eye movement metric;

comparing the value of the computed assessment-specific eye movement metric to an activity-specific score associated with individuals other than the user to compute a user-specific performance score; and

generating a display or report comprising the user-specific performance score.

9. The system of claim 8,

wherein the assessment-specific metric corresponds to a defined physical activity,

wherein each of the hosted plurality of visual assessments corresponds to an identified physical activity,

wherein the foundational eye movement metric corresponds to multiple visual assessments of the hosted plurality of visual assessments regardless of the identified physical activity, and

wherein the assessment-specific eye movement metric corresponds to a particular visual assessment of the hosted plurality of visual assessments only if the defined physical activity of the assessment-specific eye movement metric matches the identified physical activity corresponding to the particular visual assessment.

10. The system of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured for:
