In this PhD project, several teams (clinical centers, serious game developers, and academic institutions) combine their multidisciplinary skills to create and deploy a solution for rehabilitating patients having visual impairments by offering them training
scenarios using a virtual reality (VR) setup.</div>

As PhD candidate in this project, you will conduct independent high-quality research resulting in a doctoral dissertation. Your research will focus on developing a gamified VR application to collect eye tracking data to measure and treat hemianopsia (partial
blindness). Additionally, you will design a Visual Analytics solution for exploring complex data recorded from the training patients including eye tracking, task progress, and success rates. This will enable therapists to monitor and improve patients’ visual
rehabilitation progress. You will collaborate with a diverse project team of academics, clinicians, and software developers to realize the goals of the project.</div>
