Amblyotube Uses VR Headsets to Turn Screen Time into Visual Training

A recent Lemmy discussion highlighted that people tend to respond better to replacing a habit, such as excessive scrolling, than to simply blocking it. Building on that idea, the article describes Amblyotube, a Meta Quest app from Seven Sports that makes video watching an active exercise for visual coordination and attention. The app processes the left and right eye views of the same video differently in real time, using the headset's separate eyepieces. Features include a dominant-eye shader, sharpening of human figures for the weaker eye, visual accents, and a built-in LogMAR vision check. Users must specify which eye is affected at launch, since selecting the wrong one would train the wrong eye.
