Here's something you don't see everyday. It's a vision measurement tool for the PC-8001. To establish some form of accuracy, they expect you to use a standard NEC 12" monochrome monitor for the test, and you are supposed to stand 5 meters away from the screen. When you run the program, a demo launches, displaying a person standing 5m away from a screen and stating which direction the circle opens, and then a screen demonstrating the pressing of the key corresponding to the direction the test-taker observed. The photos were taken randomly so they don't really match up with reality, but this is the flow of the demo. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And this is what happens when you end the demo and go to actually use the program. It takes a good 15 seconds or so to go from screen to screen. Maybe I just don't understand something! ![]() ![]() ![]() Does it work? Anyone's guess! This program is laboriously slow so I can't imagine it got much use in 1980s optometrist offices. It is, in any event, a curiosity. The packaging is one of the generic I/O packages. ![]() I found another site talking about it and apparently there is a bug in the code that causes it to error out. It also includes the way to fix it so it displays and calculates the result properly. |
