Hi, a VR/health question. Consistent and prolonged close point eye strain (staring at a monitor) leads to eye damage in the long term. The way to fix that - move the focal point further away (VR).
Imagine sitting in the last row of a cinema, with the screen displaying my desktop environment. It's all flat, but the focal point of the whole thing is 10-20 metres away.
Things I'm looking for:
- Compatibility - to be able to run any program (office, games, etc) as on my monitor, just projected on a flat surface in VR
- High resolution - because of the distance and not looking around much, I guess high resolution is much more important than frame rate/responsiveness
- Ease of use - to be able to start it quickly
- Easily change the focal distance - to be able to move easily and quickly the distance at which the desktop flat surface is located (from about 5m to at least about 15m away)
Do you think this is a viable and healthier way to replace a workstation monitor - i.e. to use that about 10 hours a day? My eyes have just started degrading because of constant monitor use and I want to fix that without ditching technology.
Thanks a lot!
