A visual ability improvement supporting device includes a noise outputting
device and a noise generating device. The noise generating device
generates noise with intensity which is optimum to a threshold intensity
of visibility. The optimum intensity is optimum to induce stochastic
resonance (SR). The noise outputting device includes a room lighting
device, which illuminates a surrounding area when a lighting switch is
turned on, and outputs the visual noise according to the generated noise
even when the lighting switch is turned off not to illuminate the
surrounding area.
