The Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener is a handheld, objective device: it detects six amblyopic risk factors in seconds for patients as young as six months.

The Spot Vision Screener (Model VS100) is a portable, instrument-based vision screening device from Welch Allyn (a Baxter business). It captures an image from a non-invasive, three-foot distance, providing objective results in mere seconds. The technology supports AAP guidelines for early detection and is proven to capture readings 97% of the time, even with difficult subjects. It quickly detects six major amblyopic risk factors—including myopia and astigmatism—offering a clear Pass/Refer recommendation to streamline follow-up care and EMR integration.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [How and why we use AI for creating serialized apparel](https://portland.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_UfkXRFqKpd8)

Spot Vision uses machine learning to encode a digital record into graphic designs by introducing slight variations to the designs. These variations allows us to serialize the millions of items so that each is slightly different but still fitting a shared design intent. Designs can be read or authenticated by visually scanning. We will be demonstrating examples of serialized apparel covering a broad artistic range and talk about how AI drives optimization of encoding schemes and robust decoding from curved, obscured, and wrinkled surfaces.
