E(ye) Motion

Abstract

E(ye) Motion is a patented program from EyeMotion, a French company based in Castres, presented as "the benchmark in its field: optimizing visual-attentional performance". It is designed to improve the various components of visual perception, including peripheral vision, visual attention, smooth pursuit and oculomotor control, and is offered for health, sport, eSport, and army and safety settings.

Training Environments

The program runs in four configurations:

1. EM180, the "High-Level" environment: the original configuration, built to train peripheral vision across the entire visual field with a 180° arc of screens
2. EM120, the "Sport-Health" environment: developed specifically for healthcare, the Silver Economy and physical preparation
3. EMVR, the "Mobile" environment: developed for on-the-go training, suitable for every area of activity
4. Eye-Tracking: records and analyses parameters of visual perception to understand and characterise visual behaviour

Skills Trained

• Peripheral vision: awareness of targets across the whole visual field
• Visual attention: taking in more visual information, faster
• Smooth pursuit: following moving targets with the eyes
• Oculomotor control: a dedicated oculomotricity routine
• Decision making and proprioception: through the 180° cognitive program

Health Applications

The manufacturer presents the program for:

• Older adults: fall prevention and reduction of postural imbalance
• Specific learning disorders: difficulties with the acquisition, organisation, memorisation, understanding or use of information
• Reading and school difficulties: the manufacturer suggests that better visual attention skills may improve silent sentence reading
• Cognitive decline and low vision: settings where visual perception training is under clinical study

The program collects objective, quantitative information that can be compared with normative data.

Evidence and Regulatory Status

• Clinical study of visual perception training in cognitive decline and low vision is described as ongoing
• In sport, scientific validation is described as underway at several sites
• The manufacturer's website does not state a CE marking or medical device class: check the regulatory status with the manufacturer before clinical use

Training and Partners

EyeMotion is also a training organisation, referenced since 2017, Data Dock labelled in 2018 and Qualiopi certified since 2020. Partners listed by the manufacturer include orthoptists and optical practices.
