Reading XR is an assessment tool that uses the study of eye movements to provide valuable insight to the underlying factors causing reading impairments. The Reading XR application consists of software that runs on the HoloLens 2 headset and Azure.

Reading XR tracks Fixation and Regressions or eye movements

These movements are natural when reading a passage of text. However, eye movements that indicate distraction (movements up and down) and long periods of fixation on certain words can point out why readers have trouble with comprehension. Data is collected from eye movements to evaluate reading performance based on standardized norms for grade levels.

For Students

Tackling reading problems is a tough job for anyone, especially kids. READING XR uses the concept of gamification to combine the functional ability of tracking and assessing eye movements, while kids enjoy using the gaming aspect of an Augmented or Virtual Reality headset. Kids actually WANT to try READING XR and see what it's all about!

For Specialists

Eye Tracking tools play an essential role in evaluating factors affecting reading fluency and comprehension. READING XR is a comprehension test which can be administered within 10 minutes. The results provide informative graphical data charting a subject’s reading skills in comparison to standardized grade level averages. Used as a tool for early intervention, rapid assessment testing used at scale aids specialists in meeting state testing mandates.By tracking eye movements during a reading comprehension test.

For Parents and Caregivers

Parents can view video replays of their children’s eye movements as they read a passage. Experience the assessment results by seeing how each word was read. No more guessing about where the problem lies, the data is readily available in formats which are easy for everyone to understand.
