yeah was gonna say old TVs had a whole bunch of X-rays or wahtever in them that made the screen work lol
They also had proper shielding so no harmful radiation was emitted unless it was an extremely shitty screen or cracked or something. It's why they were so heavy.
Yes, inside them was contained dangerous stuff, but them affecting the outside world is a myth.
But I mean, the problem is the focus… VR glasses are much better for your eyes than phones or computers because you don't need to focus but can just look normal.
Look normal? You have to look straight all the time, without moving much of your eyes (only your head)
Huh? You definitely need to move your eyes while using VR. You don’t just stare straight ahead, or else you couldn’t see anything but a minute percentage of the screen.
you can absolutely look around, if you couldnt it wouldnt feel as real as real as it does. most of your regular field of view works as normal, for the most part you just use your eyes and head completely normally. it is a lot harder to look at things close up properly, not sure if its from problems with how its displayed or the screen or what though, its just my personal experience.
image isn't loading for me so the only thing i see is the title 💀
You should beam it directly to your synapses, protect your eyes.
I've watched TV up close since I was child but this is an extreme x)
