Hi, @kevin thank you for hunting our product! My name is Arsen. We developed an iOS App Blink. It helps to reduce eye tense, stress and fatigue with special eyesight exercises. App is based on eye tracking technology through TrueDepth. This technology helps Blink to guide user’s exercise technique and correct it for maximum efficiency. Because of TrueDepth Blink is only available for iPhones X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11 or iPad Pro models. Due to the unique design, wich activates peripheral vision, users can navigate in Blink without directly looking at the screen. This is what makes Blink friendly solution for tired eyesight. App is totally free, because our goal right now is to get as much users feedback as possible. So, maybe you would be interested in testing our app and share your honest thoughts on it. Do you like it?

@kevin @akuheika What's the science behind this to show that it actually helps my eyes rather than just straining them more?

@rossdcurrie Eye exercises is just one part of complex preventive vision therapy. Taking care of eyesight is a good habbit and Blink helps to build it with these small steps – short daily workouts. Gymnastics helps with strenghening eye muscles and due to the specific movents prevents irritation and dryness. The most known research about vision therapy belings to american vision therapy center where we've gathered most of the information.

@kevin @akuheika @rossdcurrie It seems like this app's approach is based on nothing, but there's research on this, if you're curious: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/...

Where is the proof you will improve eyesight like you claim? I’m very surprised everyone is just accepting that claim without asking how? Any proof?

@andrewgale relax and just blink :)

Unique usage of True Depth camera... And on top of that, incredible UX, soft vibration for the seconds, contextual intent for notification, app rating, opening on the right screen... Wow. Congratulations

Such a great application for the TrueDepth camera! The haptic feedback is a perfect complement to the smooth animations. Curious to know if the app collects usage data or trains on our faces when we use it?

@diogomartf did you try it? Share you thoughts
Suraj Vibhute
Really nice concept, simple and useful app. Do you have any plans to add this exercise data in the Health app?
Arseny Kuheika
Maker
@suraj78 Do you think this is really necessary? users have already written to us about this feature. we will think how it can be interestingly implemented
Suraj Vibhute
@akuheika yeah, I think so as most of the popular activity/exercise apps are connected with the Health app, it becomes easy to see all the data in one place.

@suraj78 thank you 🙏 for idea! We try to do our best

As my doctor says: “Rest your eyes every 20 minutes. Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Get up at least every 2 hours and take a 15-minute break... blah blah”. Awesome app, but so hard to train 20 feet back from my phone

@hamp Awesome, actually we're thinking of 20 feet away thing! ))))) So stay tuned...
