The Laser Eye Protection simulator is a virtual reality (VR) simulation which provides realistic laser effects and tint effects that come with wearing laser eye protection.

Outcomes and Additional Information

• Laser dazzling has negative effects on vision, including obscuration of the visual field, causing unsafe situations for pilots and drivers.

• A 2020 project focused on creating functions to model laser’s effects on the human eye with basic visual implementation. 

• The team was challenged to create a computer simulation for desktop and VR featuring lasers and LEP, data logging, and a customizable environmental and laser settings.

• The effort also included a scenario with wire guided anti-tank missile system and moving tanks.

• Future developments can include the integration of laser effects and LEP into flight simulations, user controlled tanks and lasers via multiplayer, and expanded visual spatial tasks.
