Abstract: Purpose: Visual acuity (VA) is a critical clinical endpoint, however tests typically require trained staff, are fixed in their range, and provide only limited information about individual performance. This study introduces the Angular Indication Measurement and applies it to VA (AIM-VA). Agreement, repeatability, and test duration of AIM-VA were compared to standard clinical tests. Methods: 29 and 22 adults took part in two separate experiments. 4*4 charts with Landolt-C optotypes of varying sizes and random gap-orientations were presented at 4m viewing distance. Optotype size was response-adaptively updated after each chart. Participants indicated the perceived gap location by clicking on the corresponding location on a surrounding response-ring and VA was estimated from the report errors as a function of target size. First, we compared AIM-VAs with that of ETDRS and FrACT. Second, we compared repeatability over two tests of AIM-VA and ETDRS. AIM-VA-specific psychometric functions generated a new parameter called range of stimulus detectability improvement (ROSDI) that represents the range over which VA varies with target size. Results: There were no significant differences among VA estimates from AIM, ETDRS and FrACT. AIM-VA's test-retest repeatability was comparable to that of ETDRS (95% Confidence Intervals in logMAR: AIM-VA [0.18 / -0.15] when using 3 adaptive steps and ETDRS [0.18 / -0.11]). Median ROSDI was {+/-}0.14logMAR 0.03. Test duration was not significantly different for AIM-VA and ETDRS, the latter being significantly faster than FrACT. Conclusions: AIM-VA estimates of VA were equivalent to FrACT and ETDRS. AIM-VA can be estimated in approximately the same time as ETDRS and with comparable test-retest reliability. AIM-VA is an intuitive, self-administered, adaptive, and personalized method that provides reliable and repeatable estimates of VA and additional performance outcomes. AIM's orientation judgement approach is generalizable to interrogate many other visual functions, e.g., contrast, color, motion, stereo-vision. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Cami and Cassidy take us down memory lane, sharing how they got into computer science together, hosted a web series (and still podcast together sometimes), and overlapped at two jobs together.We discuss the technologies being used to build in/for the Metaverse like Horizon Workroom, Presence Platform, Insights SDK, and of course, React. Cami shares how object and scene recognition work in VR.Cami reveals a family secret — so listen up if you want to know how to beat Cassidy at board games.Blackbishop wins the Illuminator Badge for answering and editing 500 different questions on Stack Overflow.Follow Ben, Matt, Cassidy, and Cami.We're taking a break for the Thanksgiving holiday so no podcast this Friday…have a good one, and see you next week.
Kateryna Sytnyk is originally from Ukraine, but moved to the states 15 years ago after winning the green card lottery. Her background is in applied mathematics, and she grew up surrounded with logical brains - for example, her grandparent was literally a rocket scientist. When she moved to the US, she dove right into the world of entrepreneurship. Outside of tech, she travels a lot, being a digital nomad, and likes to salsa dance. She is fascinated with psychology and what drives behavior.For her prior startup, she utilized her background in applied math, combined with her co-founder's experience in the space, to create a way to optimize territory creation - for franchises, sales teams, etc. and predict revenue for said territories. When she moved on from that gig, she started a new thing - one that would enable women founders to build technical solutions.This is the creation story of Fract... and CTO Doctor.SponsorsAirbyteDopplerHost.ioIPInfomablLinksWebsite: https://www.fract.com/Website: https://www.ctodoctor.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katerynasytnyk/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week's show is a short one, but we've got just enough time for Anthony to talk about Farsky, an argument about Child of Light, more Fract talk, some miscellaneous bullshitting, and a couple of letters. This week's music, in order of appearance: Florence & the Machine - Breath of Life
With E3 drawing near and some panic over first impressions of Destiny, Garnett dives headlong into the world of previews, what they're all about, and how much we really ought to read into them. Along with a deluge of listener response to Hearthstone, he offers up a good primer for anyone wanting a few starting tips to help them to success with Blizzard's addictive new collectible card game. He also takes another go at sharing the psychadelic music puzzle game FRACT OSC after having time to get reacquainted with it over the past week. Plus there are loads of new calls including the Call of the Week and a new question to get your take on for the next show.
I bet you can't wait to hear what film Millie has been watching. Well for some reason Stu, Duke and Chinny talk about that rather than games for the first ten minutes. Hear what Chinny thinks of Assassin's Creed IV and why he said it might even been better than GTA V Duke doesn't play The Last of Us but what else is new, but he did buy a new game (very rare but it happens now and again) called Fract, hear why he didn't get on with it very well. Stu has been playing Dead Island Epidemic Beta on Steam, Hearthstone on the iPad and for some reason Deadly Premonition AGAIN. Chinny talks about the ET dig site and convinces Stu its real. We do a round of Mr, Mr and Mr where we guess answers about each other but it didn't go so well. We read the weekly emails, play the speak pipes and social media. Enjoy!

Our dear friend Matt makes his triumphant return as we talk about Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, Fract, Hitman GO and more, then close with more letters about your abortive attempts at human relationships.
