The game builds on the EPELI virtual reality (VR) game that was previously developed as a way to monitor the [ADHD symptoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adhd-quiz) a person might be having. The diagnostic tool could work effectively as a way to track for patterns found in eye movements and works in combination with [machine learning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainblink-brainblink). One of the original developers of EPELI Topi Siro spoke on the VR eye-tracking game saying, "The player has to remember the tasks despite distractions in the environment, such as a TV being on. The game measures everything: how much the child clicks on the controls and how efficiently they perform the tasks. Efficiency correlates with everyday functioning, whereas children with ADHD often have challenges."
