BabyEye - Vision

Ever wondered what your newborn actually sees? The world looks completely different through a baby's eyes — blurry, high-contrast, and colorless at birth, slowly blooming into full color over the first year of life. BabyEye puts you inside that experience with a real-time vision simulator, science-backed milestones, visual stimulation flashcards, and everything a new parent needs to understand their baby's visual growth. VISION SIMULATOR Point your camera at anything — your face, the nursery, a toy — and watch it transform in real time through your baby's eyes. Drag a slider from Day 1 to 2 years and see vision evolve live. BabyEye simulates four scientifically calibrated visual properties: - Acuity blur: 20/800 at birth to 20/30 at 12 months, calibrated to Teller Acuity Card measurements - Color development: grayscale at birth, red-green channel at 2 months, full trichromatic color by 6 months - Peripheral vision: narrow at birth, expanding to 93% adult field by 6-7 months - Contrast sensitivity: from 70% at birth to adult levels by 6 months Compare mode shows adult and baby vision side by side in a live split screen. LIVE FACE DISTANCE GUIDE BabyEye detects your baby's face and shows the real-time distance with a color-coded indicator — too close, too far, or right in the optimal zone for their current age. Newborns see sharpest at 20-30 cm. VISION LOG Capture photos from the simulator and save them with the age-appropriate filter applied. Every saved moment shows exactly how your baby saw that scene on that day — a unique visual record of their growing world. VISUAL FLASHCARDS Science-designed stimulation cards matched to each developmental stage: Newborns (0-6 weeks): Bold black-and-white spirals, bullseyes, checkerboards, and face outlines tuned to the spatial frequency that newborn retinas respond to most strongly. 2-3 months: Strong primary reds and greens introduced as the red-green color channel activates for the first time. 3-6 months: Full-spectrum high-saturation patterns as trichromatic color matures and acuity improves rapidly. Each card set is tagged to the correct developmental stage so your baby always gets age-appropriate stimulation. VISUAL MILESTONES Seven science-backed stages from birth to 12 months: Stage 1 - Light and Shadow (0-2 weeks) - 20/800 Stage 2 - First Focus (2-4 weeks) - 20/500 Stage 3 - Tracking Awakens (1-2 months) - 20/400 Stage 4 - Color Discovery (2-3 months) - 20/200 Stage 5 - Depth Perception (4-5 months) - 20/120 Stage 6 - Full Color World (6 months) - 20/80 Stage 7 - Sharp and Aware (7-12 months) - 20/30 Tap any stage to expand the full scientific detail on cone development, cortical pathways, and what it means for your baby. FACE RECOGNITION GUIDE Six step-by-step activity stages from week 1 to 12 months to support your baby's face processing and bonding — from the 20 cm feeding distance in week 1 to mirror play at 5 months and stranger awareness at 9 months. GROWTH CHARTS WHO and CDC standard percentile charts for weight, height, and head circumference alongside visual milestones so you can track full development in one place. BUILT ON REAL SCIENCE Every filter, milestone, and flashcard is grounded in published research from the American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Academy of Pediatrics, NIH PubMed, Teller Acuity studies, and peer-reviewed vision science.
