1. A device for evaluating or improving perceptual-cognitive abilities of a subject, comprising:
- at least one sensor adapted to detect a movement and a position of the subject within a real, physical three-dimensional environment;
a display apparatus comprising an augmented reality helmet configured to display stereoscopic images of moving virtual objects superimposed on the real, physical three-dimensional environment, the virtual objects being displayed during a sequence of successive tests in a manner allowing the subject to be in visual contact with the virtual objects while the subject is moving within the real, physical three-dimensional environment, the display apparatus being adapted to detect an orientation of the augmented reality helmet; and
a controller adapted to;
control the display apparatus to correct in real-time a subject'"'"'s visual perspective based on the detected orientation of the augmented reality helmet;
evaluate, according to an evaluation protocol, the perceptual-cognitive abilities of the subject as a function of the movement and of the position of the subject within the real, physical three-dimensional environment in response to the moving virtual objects superimposed on the real, physical three-dimensional environment; and
change, during the sequence of the successive tests, a speed of movement of the virtual objects displayed by the display apparatus using a staircase variation to increase or decrease the speed of the virtual objects, based on the evaluation of the perceptual-cognitive abilities of the subject from at least one preceding successive test in the sequence of successive tests.

Abstract
A device and method for evaluating or improving perceptual-cognitive abilities of a subject, comprising displaying virtual objects moving in a given three-dimensional environment during successive tests. The subject is in visual contact with the virtual objects moving in the three-dimensional environment, and the speed of movement of the virtual objects in the three-dimensional environment during the successive tests is changed.

10. A method of evaluating or improving perceptual-cognitive abilities of a subject, comprising:
-
detecting a movement and a position of the subject within a real, physical three-dimensional environment; displaying, on a display apparatus, moving virtual objects superimposed on the real, physical three-dimensional environment during a sequence of successive tests, the display apparatus comprising an augmented reality helmet configured to display stereoscopic images of the virtual objects in a manner allowing the subject to be in visual contact with the virtual objects while the subject is moving within the real, physical three-dimensional environment, the display apparatus being adapted to detect an orientation of the augmented reality helmet; controlling the display apparatus to correct in real-time a visual perspective based on the detected orientation of the augmented reality helmet; evaluating, according to an evaluation protocol, the perceptual-cognitive abilities of the subject as a function of the movement and of the position of the subject within the real, physical three-dimensional environment in response to the moving virtual objects superimposed on the real, physical three-dimensional environment; and changing, during the sequence of the successive tests, a speed of movement of the virtual objects displayed by the display apparatus using a staircase variation to increase or decrease the speed of the virtual objects, based on the evaluation of the perceptual-cognitive abilities of the subject from at least one preceding successive test in the sequence of successive tests. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
