NEW ORLEANS — M&S Technologies has incorporated SmarTracker 2 technology into its Smart System VR headset to improve patient fixation during visual field testing, Mike Umali, national sales manager for M&S Technologies, said at Academy ’23.
“We’ve always been committed to science-backed technology, and that’s no different here with the [virtual reality] headset,” Umali said during an academy-sponsored press conference.
The headset uses Bluetooth to conduct full threshold, Esterman, 10-2, 24-2 and 30-2 visual fields and also evaluates for ptosis, contrast sensitivity, stereo and color vision. Each headset comes with a tablet and two remote controls.
“Some of the key benefits to the headset are that it’s a very comfortable test taking experience for the patient,” he said. “It’s also a very comfortable test administering experience for the technician as well.”
The device is both portable and flexible, with audio instruction available in eight languages.
The SmarTracker 2 software uses the headset’s cameras to monitor fixation and alert the patient if they lose the fixation target.
“It just offers maximum accuracy on visual field tests, because the test isn’t going anywhere unless you are looking where you need to look,” Umali said.
