It utilizes 3D anaglyph glasses and interactive mini-games to improve the vision of patients with amblyopia, commonly called &#8220;lazy eye,&#8221; and convergence insufficiency, an inability of two eyes to work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another project, MOVE-IT, stands for &#8220;Motivating Occupational Virtual Experiences In Therapy.&#8221; It aims to rehabilitate movement ability in the upper extremities in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy, a birth injury that damages the part of the brain which controls muscle movements. MOVE-IT uses a custom smart toy with LED lights, a tactile sensor, and a nine-axis sensor to map the toy in 3D space. Using the toys as magic wands encourages children to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJeff is really making a big difference with his work,\u201d says Scott Shaw, chair of the Game Design and&nbsp;Development Program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Fisher, a graduate of the&nbsp;Game Design and Development program in Wilmington University&#8217;s College of Technology, has been busy working on several projects funded by&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3040,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[99],"class_list":["post-3039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-college-of-technology"],"acf":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":2,"label":"ACADEMIC NEWS"}],"post_tag":[{"value":99,"label":"College of Technology"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Wilm-image-2-720x480.png",720,480,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Rebecca Slinger","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/author\/rebecca\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":2,"name":"ACADEMIC NEWS","slug":"academic-news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":559,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":460,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":2,"category_count":460,"category_description":"","cat_name":"ACADEMIC NEWS","category_nicename":"academic-news","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":99,"name":"College of Technology","slug":"college-of-technology","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":656,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":66,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3039"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3039\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15689,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3039\/revisions\/15689"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.wilmu.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
