Things that scares me number 4.15289*10^37: At SIGGRAPH I got a chance to play with assorted VR gear, from stereo glasses on projection systems to head mounted displays. All of these handled the stereo portion of the display correctly, but they didn't do anything for focus tracking. And I got to thinking: I'm finding that I'm getting nearsighted because I've worked on a fixed focus display for years, my monitor's always about 3 feet away from me, my glasses prescription is DS -1. But what's going to happen to all of these kids raised on Teletubbies and Sesame Street who didn't have the years that I had to strengthen their focus muscles?
