Exercise II - Visual Motor Integration

According to the user manual, Visual Motor Integration "is the ability to integrate a visual target with an accurate hand movement". It is a very important skill for a sight-reader to have.
The way this exercise is designed needs no adaptation for us musicians.
The "player" has to accurately hit moving balls with a bat which is controlled by the mouse.
The variables are:
- Ball speed: there are 6 different speeds according to the level you are.
- Bat size: there are 4 different sizes.
- Distractions: the distractions include moving objects sometimes on the upper part of the screen and sometimes on the lower part of it, still objects and moving walls.

I find it interesting that moving objects are easier to deal with because I can trace the angles ahead and the direction of the balls are more predictable. The still objects many times make the balls wiggle and the outcome is always a surprise.

The goal, in order to advance to a higher level, is to hit the ball 30 per "game".

So far, this exercise along with the visual concentration program (I will explain it later), have my best scores. In 50 sections (2 games per section) I have missed only one ball.

However good I am, I take Exercise II very seriously because a musician can always improve his or hers eye-hand coordination.
This exercise also works the parafoveal vision because many times, you have to "see" several things at once.
