Bio-Inspired Vision Technologies with Augmented Reality (AR)
Experimental Setup with AR Support
The Panoptes robotic vision system is a bio-inspired optical device used to model and analyze the field of view in artificial vision systems. The experiment simulates how different light sources interact with vision sensors, allowing students to map spatial sensitivity through a controlled sequence of visual stimuli.
New AR-Driven Experimentation Features
- AR-based visual field mapping: Students can digitally overlay spatial sensitivity graphs onto the Panoptes system to see how different light orientations affect perception.
- Virtual light tracking simulations: AR provides real-time feedback on how robotic eyes adjust to changes in lighting and contrast.
- Neural signal processing in AR: Interactive AR models demonstrate how retinal signals are transmitted to the visual cortex, comparing healthy vs. impaired visual pathways.
These enhanced AR applications allow students to modify experimental conditions in real time, improving their understanding of visual processing, sensor optimization, and data análisis (Venkatesen et al., 2021).
