MagicBridge – Gabor Game

Where Science Becomes Play.

Join a little bunny on its adventure and discover a unique educational game that combines engaging gameplay with scientific insights from visual perception research.

While most educational games rely on conventional graphics and shapes, MagicBridge is based on scientifically established Gabor patterns. These mathematically generated visual stimuli were developed to precisely represent fundamental visual features such as orientation, contrast, and spatial frequency. Because of these properties, Gabor patterns have been used for decades in visual perception research. In addition, they are employed in scientific studies investigating the training of visual functions and, among other applications, in research on amblyopia (lazy eye).

MagicBridge was developed for children aged 5 to 9 and integrates these scientifically established visual stimuli into a beautifully crafted fantasy world. Rather than presenting abstract visual stimuli in isolation, children help a little bunny safely cross a river, collect stars, open treasure chests, and unlock numerous rewards.

The visual tasks are based on scientifically established Gabor patterns and are displayed as consistently as possible across different tablets using an integrated screen calibration. An adaptive difficulty system continuously adjusts the tasks to each child's individual progress, providing a motivating and long-lasting gameplay experience.
