also this "the red dragon" just happends to be a Xbox guy, that makes most of his youtube videos hateing on Sony.

He has PSVR in the title, instead of saying "all vr is bad for you (your eyes)", hes a fanboy.


Soon as scorpio launches he ll be going "VR is the BEST THING ever" :p

Same happens when Ruler links anything from Sony guys, or anyone else who happens to link a channel that has a guy putting the majority of their focus on Sony. If you're going to pick on one guy, you hvae to pick on them all, even on your own side. 

What did Ruler link to?  Did his post get deleted from this thread?

So because your looking at something close to your face, it could give you bad eye sight if used to much.

So could laying in bed reading a book.
Better avoid reading books.... sounds dangerous :p
Honestly as long as its used in moderation I dont think the health risks are a issue.

Except the difference is reading books is natural where as tricking your brain to think you are some where else is not.

nothing about reading books is "natural", it's just a commonly accepted activity

*edit nvm.

Okay he says "brain rewireing" lmao... Im not sure how true that is.

That reminds me of that "your brain is less active when you watch tv than when sleeping".
Quick everyone stop watching tv!

 

The eye sight problem is real enough, though I suspect.

But try getting people to stop sitting by a pc, or reading books as well.... and yeah, its a lost battle.

Theres a reason why so many people wear glasses.

Wearing glasses is perfecting fine. Reading books is considered healthy for you. Eyes will deteriorate over time that’s normal. I wear glasses due to the many years iv been gaming off a monitor. However it’s a completely different health concern we have with VR. When you have to slap warning labels on your products than it’s something people might need to consider before buying. I game for long period of times, normally 1 to 2 hours so VR isn’t for me.

You don’t see warning labels on Books saying you should only read in short periods or an age bracket due to eye damage.

you take that back sir :)



Instead of just guessing, why don't we actually do some research.

This is what the professor of Optometry at UC Berkley had to say about it.

Nearsightedness, or myopia, is where close objects appear clear, but objects far away look blurry. It has been on the increase in recent years. One study in the U.S. found that nearsightedness in those from age 12 to 54 rose from 25 percent in 1971-1972 to 41.6 percent in 1999-2004. There’s a lot of evidence linking this trend to near work, such as reading or using a computer.

The damage occurs when a child focuses on something near for long periods of time, so it’s understandable that some may fear VR headsets will add to the problem. The screen is just two inches from the user’s eyes. But the technology is more complex than that.

“Let’s contrast a kid using a VR headset compared to a kid using a smartphone. When they use the smartphone they typically hold it very close to them and so they have to focus their eye close,” explains Prof. Banks. “You might think that with the VR headset they’d have to do the same thing because the image is close to the eye, but [VR headsets] have optics in the setup that make the stimulus effectively far away, so, in terms of where the eye has to focus, you have to actually focus fairly far away to sharpen the image in the headset.”

So VR should be less damaging to the eyes than reading or using a Smartphone. It even goes on to explain later in the article that VR could be used to diagnose or even treat certain eye problems.

This differs from televisions, PC monitors or cell phones how?
