Abstract
A visual defect simulation system receives a functional field map produced by an MRI system that relates locations in a patient's brain to locations in the patient's field of view. Planned medical operations are indicated at locations in the patient's brain and any resulting vision loss is simulated with a revised functional field map. A scene is displayed and an impairment overlay is produced from the revised functional field map that blocks the scene at locations corresponding to simulated vision loss. The overlay is translated over the scene in response to viewer eye movements detected by a vision-tracking system to present a real-time simulation of the resulting vision loss.
