Visual Search Strategy

Systematic approaches to visually exploring an environment or scene to locate specific objects, patterns, or information. In low-vision rehabilitation, therapists train clients in efficient search strategies such as systematic scanning patterns (horizontal, vertical, spiral), which are essential for daily tasks like finding items on a shelf, reading a menu, or navigating spaces. AR-based training has shown potential for making these visual strategies more observable to therapists, as head movements during AR interaction can reveal search patterns that are otherwise difficult to assess.
