Anyone knows what's the impact of looking at screens mere centimers in front of your eyes for extended period of time ?

I can't imagine this being too healthy for eyes if they need to focus on such unnatural distance.


If I had to guess:

Add OCZ 's NIA (Neural Input Actuator) for over the top control.

The only problem is trying not to spill your beer everywhere when wearing this.

Oh and a nice little article in a UK so called 'respectable newspaper' stating that it causes eye strain and affects fertility and this will be a flop...

Um I actually used these and I'll say, while cool, it's not too impressive. That "150 inch" at 6 feet away is lies really. It was cool that things were in 3D, but everything was soo tiny.  Like I was using those things that had a feed from Killzone 3 and I could barely make out what was going on.


In a mere four sentences, you totally killed my hype. :(


No reason for your hype to be dead, not to discredit this guy or anything, but damn near every other major publication or third party source which have tried these out vouches completely opposite to kryta's claim. So I wouldn't worry about it at all really. Don't let the hype die, dawg.

Im surprise about the statement too. I didnt try the Sony model specifically but normally, HMD always have a virtually big screen since your eyes are next to the screens. Maybe the nose adjustement wasnt alright and his eyes were too far from the screen. Being only a couple of centimeters farther then it should would make a drastic difference on virtual screen size.

I gotta defend myself here against Necromunda (Not against Icyedge cause he could very well be right and the device wasn't calibrated properly), but I  had that visor on my head, the speakers were right on my ears, they were on properly, what I saw was a tiny screen that I could barely make out.  One thing I did make out was that it was 3D.  Reading articles vs actual use, I wonder what I'd believe, my own senses.  As they were when I used them, they were useless.  Were they calibrated properly?  Maybe not.  If you want the proof yourself, go to any con where Sony will be and they'll have them.  Fan Expo is a big con in Canada, but it's pretty small in who comes, Sony was there with them, they'll be anywhere.  Give them a try for yourself.  If what you see is a ginormous screen, then the visors weren't calibrated properly when I used them.  But don't believe everything you read in print.

You may be right too, I didnt try it. Something im sure of, its not enormous even if correctly calibrated. But, I was surprise by the fact you could barely make out what was going on, never saw a HMD looking THAT small. Would be kind of dumb to release that considering the price tag and the little cost associate with having slightly bigger screens.

I don't believe everything I read in print, but I will trust some of the most respectable sources concerning Technological Journalism until I can test them for myself. They are the experts, therefor as far as I'm concerned, I'll far more take their word, over yours. It's nothing personal, its just a matter of credibility.

Maybe you tried the prototype ? according to various sources, the latest version should cover .. well almost your whole field of vision in which case i can't imagine the screen being small. I haven't personally tried it, but i read that the screen size was pretty different from the prototype to the commercial version.
