The game has five main ways of training your eyes:
Clearly seeing quick moving elements
Seeing a bunch of information in one instant
Tracking eye movemeant
Seeing details in a wide view
Hand eye coordination
The game tests all of these elements with quick mini-games and then evaluates the quality of your vision based on the results. The official Japanese site has of course a plethora of info about the game, including an interview with the doctor that helped develop its training methods.

  1. Oh nice. This sounds really fun. I love hand/eye coordination tests, and stuff like that. Is this coming to the US?

  2. This looks like a fun software… It kind of reminds me of these softwares you use in order to fast read… It's funny…

  3. Ive been playing this for the last week. Its great. Although it would be nice to understand what hes saying, its not really necessary and doesnt seem to take too much away from the game. Id highly suggest anyone intrested import it.
