NeuroTrackerX 3D and UI Options

Last updated
3D and 2D render options are accessed in each end user's account (they cannot be set within the NeuroTrackerX Organization application).
Each user account is set to Anaglyph 3D by default, which works specifically with NeuroTrackerX 3D glasses. These are the preferred choice of most NeuroTracker organizations and personal users. If you are using these glasses then no settings need to be changed.
However other options are available. To access them, on the end user dashboard select the user's name on the top right and click Change Render in the dropdown menu.
2D: this setting allows NeuroTracker training without stereo 3D. This can be used when 3D is not practical (though it is recommended for greater training benefits), for people with difficulties processing stereo 3D (e.g. concussion symptoms), or to do comparative assessments of 2D versus 3D visual functions. Note that NeuroTracker scores in healthy populations will be typically higher in 3D than 2D.
Anaglyph 3D: optimized for use with NeuroTrackerX glasses. The cog icon allows access to options to customize anaglyph settings, this can be helpful if using other types of anaglyph 3D glasses, which are not typically optimized for NeuroTrackerX. When using anaglyph 3D glasses it is advisable to avoid sitting next to windows with strong sunlight coming from the left or right side, as this may cause eye strain through high contrast differences between the left and right eyes.
Active 3D: this option is for using NeuroTrackerX with 3DTVs, 3D projectors, AR glasses and VR HMDs using active 3D or side-by-side 3D.
Note: research has shown that training effects with anaglyph 3D and active 3D with different display sizes produces closely equivalent results and training benefits.
Tip: if using NeuroTrackerX in in 2D while waiting for NeuroTrackerX anaglyph glasses to be delivered, make sure you remember to switch the render back to anaglyph 3D when the glasses arrive. The anaglyph glasses should not be used when 2D is on, and likewise anaglyph 3D should not be used without anaglyph 3D glasses.
There are two options for how the NeuroTrackerX end user UI is displayed: Full and Lite.
The Full UI is the preferred choice of most Organizations and personal users, allowing all NeuroTracker training program information and training data to be displayed.
The Lite UI option is a greatly simplified UI that is focused mainly on training and ease of use. This option can be helpful for low functioning populations such as elderlies or children with learning difficulties, or for use in research studies.
Setting the UI
As in the above screenshots, the UI can be switched by end users at any time by clicking on their name and selecting the preferred setting in Dashboard Type options.
Organizations can set the UI to Full or Lite when creating an end user account, or they can set the option to allow the end user to make their preferred choice on initial sign-up via email account.
Additionally, Organizations can can also change the UI setting at any time using the Edit User option within the NeuroTrackerX Organization application.
Note: changing the UI settings does not in anyway affect end user training programs or data - it is a simply difference in how the software is displayed.
