UFOV (Useful Field of View) is the area over which you can quickly and accurately see details without moving your eyes or head. This area generally gets smaller as people age. UFOV is also the name of a visual training and assessment technology that has been investigated in dozens of published studies, many funded by the National Institutes of Health. Developed by Visual Awareness Inc, the UFOV technology is proven to increase driving skill and safety and reliably predict an individual’s risk of being involved in a traffic accident.
UFOV training can also help people complete activities of daily living more quickly and accurately and help older adults maintain overall health-related quality of life. In early 2008, Posit Science acquired Visual Awareness Inc and UFOV. UFOV is incorporated into BrainHQ exercises.
