GaborPatch2Game vs Near and Far Usage & Stats
This app consists of four simple games using Gabor patch images. (2nd)
What is a Gabor patch
The Gabor patch was introduced in the New York Times in 2017 and became a hot topic.
It is a kind of striped pattern created by a mathematical process called Gabor transformation.
It was developed by Dr. Dennis Gabor, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1971 for his invention of holography.
It was originally thought that viewing Gabor-transformed images is likely to affect the visual cortex of the brain.
Because of its action on the visual cortex of the brain, it is said to be effective not only for nearsightedness but also for presbyopia, astigmatism, and farsightedness.
How to play
◎Gabor Tap
If you tap the target of the flowing Gabor image with your finger, you will score. If you keep tapping, you will run out of bullets, so tap the upper left cartridge to refill. It will finish in 30 seconds.
@Gabor Puzzle
Tap two Gabor images that are lined up to change the position. If you change the position and line up 3 or more of the same Gabor images, the images will disappear and you will get points.
@Gabor Shooting
Hit the Gabor image falling from the top with the shooting target below. If you hit it, you get a score. Hold time is 20 seconds. Shoot the falling Gabor image to increase 3 seconds. It ends when it reaches 0 seconds. (This is a demo version)
@Gabor Wide
A wide version with more images of the popular Gabor touch game in the first installment. If you tap the same Gabor image, it will disappear, and when it all disappears, you will go to the next stage.
Each game can be one, or you can play more than one. Challenge yourself with your daily goals. On the other hand, if you continue for too long, your eyes will get tired, so be careful.
@Goal calendar
Each game, clearing a level or increasing your score will be counted and displayed on the goal calendar. You can switch the display of each game with the lower button. When the daily target number set in the goal setting is reached, the display number turns red. Make it a goal to have all your favorite games displayed in red each month.

Near and Far is a simple near and distance visual acuity screening tool for near and distance visual acuity for iPad™.
The distance (far) test is based on a traditional Snellen chart. The distance test optotypes are of the Sloan type and are limited to the letters specified in the British Standard BS 4274-1:2003. They are designed to be read at 6 meters or 20 feet, but can be reversed for use with a mirror at 3 meters or 10 feet if necessary by left or right swiping the screen.
To toggle between 3 meters and 20 feet, tap on the size indicator on the lower right of the far test screen.
The letter combinations can be randomized by tapping on them. Potentially offensive letter combinations are filtered out.
The near vision test uses the N type chart and features three sets of text which can be cycled by tapping on the text. Either Helvetica or Times New Roman font can be displayed.
The test screens have been designed with minimal visible controls. There are no visible controls on the Near screen, and only "Smaller", "Larger" and Size controls on the "Far" screen. To return to the app home screen from any screens you swipe down.
Due to the size requirements for the text, Near and Far is an iPad only app. It is necessary to manually calibrate the app via the "Calibrate" screen, before the "Near" and "Far" buttons are enabled. Calibration is necessary due to variations in scaling for the various existing iPad models as well as unknown future models. Calibration is performed by measuring a test line on the calibration screen.
All features are enabled on the standard version. There are no In App Purchases and no advertisements.
Warning: Vision testing and diagnosis of vision disorders should be performed by appropriately qualified health professionals in an appropriate environment. It is the responsibility of the user of this app to ensure that it is correctly calibrated and suitable for the intended use.
