VR Game AmblyoPunch Uses Neuroplasticity Research to Treat Lazy Eye

Seven Sportz is developing AmblyoPunch, a Meta Quest VR game designed to treat amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, using dichoptic training techniques. The game's design draws on recent research showing adult brains can actively reconstruct damaged neural networks when exposed to sustained, structured demand. Players complete 15-minute daily sessions across four progressive stages, with streak tracking meant to reinforce consistent engagement over high-intensity bursts. Technical features include per-eye camera rendering and GPU-based Gabor-pattern shaders, keeping frame times under 11 ms on Quest 2 hardware. Session data such as fusion accuracy and stage progression is stored locally with an optional opt-in for research partners, with no personally identifiable information collected.
