Interactive and educational vision interfaces
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for using an interactive computer interface to dynamically reflect how one or more user-selectable conditions and severity of those conditions can affect a user'"'"'s vision, the method comprising:
- receiving user input at a computing device that identifies a condition that can affect vision;
using a camera associated with the computing device to capture a plurality of images that are streaming video images captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device;
displaying the plurality of images as they are captured by the computing device, without modification, such that the plurality of images are displayed in a manner that reflects how the plurality of images would generally appear to a user when vision of the user is not yet affected by the identified condition;
displaying an interface control that is operable to receive user input for modifying a severity of the condition;
receiving user input at the interface control that selects a severity of the condition; and
in response to selection of the severity, dynamically modifying the plurality of images as they are being captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device, to display an altered version of the plurality of images that reflects an impact of the condition at the selected severity, the altered version of the plurality of images being displayed in such a manner as to reflect how the plurality of images would appear to the user if the user'"'"'s vision was affected by the condition at the selected severity.

Abstract
User interfaces facilitate user interaction with virtual representations of anatomical structures that are displayed on computing systems. The user interfaces demonstrably reflect relative impacts on the anatomical structures based on corresponding conditions and treatments.

1. A method for using an interactive computer interface to dynamically reflect how one or more user-selectable conditions and severity of those conditions can affect a user'"'"'s vision, the method comprising:
-
receiving user input at a computing device that identifies a condition that can affect vision; using a camera associated with the computing device to capture a plurality of images that are streaming video images captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device; displaying the plurality of images as they are captured by the computing device, without modification, such that the plurality of images are displayed in a manner that reflects how the plurality of images would generally appear to a user when vision of the user is not yet affected by the identified condition; displaying an interface control that is operable to receive user input for modifying a severity of the condition; receiving user input at the interface control that selects a severity of the condition; and in response to selection of the severity, dynamically modifying the plurality of images as they are being captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device, to display an altered version of the plurality of images that reflects an impact of the condition at the selected severity, the altered version of the plurality of images being displayed in such a manner as to reflect how the plurality of images would appear to the user if the user'"'"'s vision was affected by the condition at the selected severity. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A computing system comprising:
-
at least one processor; and memory having stored computer-executable instructions which, when executed, implement a method for using an interactive computer interface to dynamically reflect how one or more user-selectable conditions and severity of those conditions can affect a user'"'"'s vision, wherein the method includes; receiving user input at the computing system that identifies a condition that can affect vision; using a camera associated with the computing system to capture a plurality of images that are streaming video images captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device; displaying the plurality of images as they are captured by the computing system on a display screen of the computing system, without modification, such that the plurality of images are displayed in a manner that reflects how the one or plurality of images would generally appear to a user when vision of the user is not yet affected by the identified condition; displaying an interface control that is operable to receive user input for modifying a severity of the condition; receiving user input at the interface control that selects a severity of the condition; and in response to selection of the severity, dynamically modifying the plurality of images as they are being captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device, to display an altered version of the plurality of images that reflects an impact of the condition at the selected severity, the altered version of the plurality of images being displayed in such a manner as to reflect how the plurality of images would appear to the user if the user'"'"'s vision was affected by the condition at the selected severity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)

11. A computer program product comprising one or more recordable-type storage device having stored computer-executable instructions which, when executed by at least one computing processor, implement a method for using an interactive computer interface to dynamically reflect how one or more user-selectable conditions and severity of those conditions can affect a user'"'"'s vision, wherein the method includes:
-
receiving user input at a computing device that identifies a condition that can affect vision; using a camera associated with the computing device to capture a plurality of images that are streaming video images captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device; displaying the plurality of images as they are captured by the computing device, without modification, such that the plurality of images are displayed in a manner that reflects how the plurality of images would generally appear to a user when vision of the user is not yet affected by the identified condition; displaying an interface control that is operable to receive user input for modifying a severity of the condition; receiving user input at the interface control that selects a severity of the condition; and in response to selection of the severity, dynamically modifying the plurality of images as they are being captured in real-time by the camera associated with the computing device, to display an altered version of the plurality of images that reflects an impact of the condition at the selected severity, the altered version of the plurality of images being displayed in such a manner as to reflect how the plurality of images would appear to the user if the user'"'"'s vision was affected by the condition at the selected severity. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
