SYSTEM AND METHOD OF VISUAL HANDICAP SIMULATION, AND RECORDING MEDIUM WHERE VISUAL HANDICAP SIMULATION PROGRAM HAS BEEN RECORDED, AND RECORDING MEDIUM WHERE VISUAL HANDICAP SIMULATION PROGRAM AND IMAGE HAVE BEEN RECORDED

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simulate many kinds and levels of visual handicap perceptual states, and realize also composite visual handicaps, by image-processing inputted image data according to the kinds of the visual handicaps, and displaying the processed images. SOLUTION: To make a personal computer 207 operate as a visual handicap simulation system, visual handicap simulation programs recorded on a CD-ROM 204 are read and stored in a storage device 209. Then, an image processing part 210 includes each function of an eyesight failure processing means 211, an astigmatism processing means 212, a contrast processing means or the like. The image processing part 210 sums up processed signals from each means for executing selected processing, and synthesizes and edits them so as to display the processed images on a television receiver 220 or an HMD 221. Thus, the visual handicaps can be realized and perceived.
