87. From Blind Spots to Bright Paths: How Mixed Reality Helps Patients with Vision Loss See Anew

Hi, I'm Dr. Elhanan Gazit, and welcome to The Gameful Intelligence Podcast – One Study Corner. In this episode, I team up with my AI co-hosts, Daphne and Marshal, to explore a powerful R&D study led by Dr. Edsel Ing from the University of Alberta, published in the Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology in 2025. The research examines how Mixed Reality (MR) glasses can support stroke survivors suffering from homonymous hemianopsia—the loss of half the visual field in both eyes. We break down what XR (Extended Reality) means, how immersive technology is reshaping rehab, and how this study beautifully exemplifies key components of my Gameful Intelligence (GI) approach. That isn't just about seeing better—it's about reclaiming Agency, fostering Co-Creative interaction, and navigating recovery through Disruptive human-centered design in the AI Era.
