GeoBee is the flagship intelligent game from VisionMechanic. It is engineered to build vision and learning skills, and to make it unBEElievably fun to do so: Anywhere and anytime using the most popular tablet computers.

"I am excited to discover GeoBee: An innovative, fun and stimulating training tool for my patients. GeoBee is a great adjunct to home vision rehabilitation training - it automatically adjusts the challenge level, and it allows the doctor and patient to monitor and see the progress. This is especially valuable for patients who do not have easy access to therapy, and we can do remote training effectively. Unlike the paper and pencil GeoPattern exercise, this tool incorporates a variety of visual skills in a fun way, including visual memory, visual perception, spatial attention and mental flexibility, all of which are crucial skills required for spelling, comprehension and numeracy. This video game goes one step further with a lazy eye training mode using red-green glasses. The game is beautiful and patients are immediately drawn to it! I highly recommend GeoBee as a visual rehabilitation tool for patients with reading/learning difficulties, traumatic brain injuries and lazy eye!" - Dr. Debbie Luk, OD, FCOVD

ABOUT GeoBee!

GeoBee! is not an arcade game, although it can easily be played that way – it’s easy! -> The game starts, you touch the screen to begin. You are shown a pattern in the preview window. Your job is simple: Redraw the pattern as accurately and as quickly as you can. Direction of tracing is at the user’s/therapist’s discretion.

GeoBee! offers a variety of libraries designed for different purposes and skill levels. Select a different library to suit your needs from those installed with the game or the online library. Libraries available for basic targeting to advance surgically-precise motor skills.

GeoBee! libraries are professionally designed by learning, development, and rehabilitation specialists. They include instructions for what patterns to display as well as many other play parameters to change the nature of game play to suit the needs of doctors and therapists.

GeoBee! also provides a reporting mechanism to monitor player activity. Requires the user set the reporting email address in the Configuration menu. Additional professional controls will be available in upcoming versions.

Users are encouraged to use Configuration and Hint options to alter gaming to suit needs of different players.

The Details -

Under the hood, GeoBee!s technology is based on leading principles of vision science and rehabilitation. As the user interacts with screen objects and prompts, the VisionMechanic Vision Development Engine (VDE) monitors behaviour and raises or lowers the bar to keep things at just the right level of difficulty for optimal learning. GeoBee! has an entry point for all ages: From very simple to very complex tasks.

The ‘Bar’ is raised whenever a player performs well, this will increase difficulty of play parameters. Likewise, when the player performs less well, the Bar is lowered and play becomes easier. This maintains optimal levels of challenge for maximized learning.

GeoBee! is a new breed of engaging and developmentally intelligent games from VisionMechanic, Inc. It is based on sound principles of vision and motor skills development. Learn more about the science of GeoBee! here:
