Comment on This App Trains You to See Farther

Ugh, their website doesn't even explain what platforms it works on. Their home page, about page, and FAQ don't mention it at all.

Their purchase page has mysterious Apple and Windows icons, with a message saying "Is Now Available on the iPad".

But is there a Windows version, which the Windows icon would suggest? Or is it Windows Phone? OSX version? Web version? It says "Available on the App Store", but on my iPhone I can't find it.

And if it's only available for iPad, it doesn't even make sense that the site has a purchase page.

Yes, the website is pretty terrible. An OSX version seems to exist, since they used a Mac Mini in their research. More info I've found:

- video interview with researchers Seitz, Deveau and Ozer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKbbF66cyqI

- short published article on the baseball study: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(14)...

- lots more technical info about the app and the study (supplemental data to above article): http://download.cell.com/current-biology/mmcs/journals/0960-...

There is an OS X version. I'd assume there is also a Windows and an iPad one. I bought it earlier today and did the first session. It was fun. My eyes felt weird for the first few minutes after finishing the session.
