Shareware-simulation of ocular motility: The number of downloads in relation to the methods of publication
Wassill K. H., Kowarsch T.
Department of Ophthalmology, Friedrichstr. 18, D-35392 Gießen
Introduction: Hundred downloads of a simulation of Listling's
Plane (http://www.med.uni-giessen.de/agma/listing)
per week show, that a threedimensional simulation may improve the understanding
of ocular motility. Especially for children the fixation of an object
is difficult. So a need was seen to develop an extended and binocular
programme named Virtual Strabismus. A Shareware version may be downloaded
at http://www.med.uni-giessen.de/agma/schielpat.
It simulates cover an uncover test, fixational uptake saccades and pursuit
movements in a tropia and phoria modus.
Methods: The shareware of the programme Virtual Strabismus is available
since April 2001. The means for publication of the shareware were: - a
European ophthalmological journal, - a contribution in an internet news
group and - a scientific meeting for orthoptists
Results: The number of downloads will be demonstrated like the
structure of the user group. The vast increase of downloads after the
note in the news group shows, that printed media may be supported by threedimensional
simulations.
Conclusion: Educational progresses in the third dimension may be
achieved with the help of the web. News groups are an ideal platform for
the distribution of public shareware.
