About “Seeing the Problem” Macular Disease Awareness XR Experience

The macular disease impacts almost 1.5 million in the UK, with people of all ages living with the condition. Even though no cure currently exists, treatment may slow down the disease and diminish the severity of vision loss. With many states not visible to the naked eye, the created Extended Reality (XR) solution helped users understand and learn what it is like to live with macular disease symptoms. The XR experiences submerged users into a virtual environment where they can live through realistic real-life challenges that people with macular disease face daily.

A unique immersive experience was developed to make a compelling impact, leave a long-lasting impression & demonstrate the macular disease condition. The immersive XR simulation allowed users to experience and understand what it is like to have macular disease in real time. The XR experience drew significant attention & engagement, allowing users to experience first-hand what it is like living with macular disease conditions & symptoms, the challenges of everyday activities & the limitations they impose, raising awareness of the problem.

The experience was built using the most advanced XR headset, Varjo XR-3, with the highest visual fidelity. Experience utilized the device’s eye-tracking, making it impossible to avert the symptoms. The device’s see-through capabilities overlayed the real-life objects and surroundings with the condition symptoms in real-time (visual distortions, increased blurriness of printed words, and a well-defined blind spot in their field of vision). Macular disease symptoms were recreated in XR using visual materials and medical specialists’ insights and feedback to ensure accurate condition representation. While wearing the XR headset, the users could feel themselves in the shoes of persons with macular disease, helping them build empathy and much-needed understanding.
