Abstract

Simulation of diabetic macular edema (DME) is implemented in a virtual reality simulation using Unreal Engine 4. Common symptoms of DME are blurry vision, loss of contrast, floaters and distorted vision. We use different computer graphics techniques to create effects which resemble such symptoms. An eye tracker from Pupil Labs is used in order to make effects gaze dependent. The implementation of these effects is discussed and adjustable parameters of the effects are explained.
