A teenager in Manchester put on a Meta Quest headset, launched the Amblyotube app, selected a video by a Minecraft YouTuber, and did 35 minutes of amblyopia training.
The Amblyotube app works by using AI to blur what the dominant eye sees, sharpen what the weaker eye sees, and flash magenta fusion cues.
Amblyotube is described as a "Class I medical-adjacent tool," part of the digital therapeutics lineage; it has not completed the medical device approval process, but it already has a clear therapeutic intent and mechanism design.
Amblyotube is an amblyopia treatment app that runs on Quest headsets.
Amblyotube automatically records session data in the background, enabling passive neuroplasticity training.
The core mechanism of Amblyotube is to render two YouTube-style video streams and present them separately to the left and right eyes.
Amblyotube has no cumbersome calibration process; users only need to put on the headset and watch videos to undergo training.
