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.


PRIVACY

Camera is used on-device only. No images or video are ever sent to any

BabyEye is for every parent who has ever looked at their newborn and
wondered: what do you see? Now you know.
