Can Oculus Rift retrain your brain and eyes to see in three dimensions again? Can it treat conditions such as Strabismus (crossed eye) Diplopia (double vision) and Amblyopia (lazy eye)?A Rift game called Diplopia claims it can. "Measurable improvements" can be achieved in a month, and it's effective on adults as well as children.The game itself is like a 3D Breakout. The clever part comes from Oculus Rift being able to display a different image for each eye. It sends incomplete images that force both eyes to work together, and having them work together is, after all, the ultimate goal.
