Virtual reality is fast becoming a major part of our lives. But the health risks associated with this technology have yet to be resolved.
Virtual reality has been in existence for decades and its impact has been thwarted in the past because of potential health and safety issues.
Its said that those who dont learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
Its known that these short-term adaptation pressures can cause headaches and sore eyes in users and potentially make it harder for someone to concentrate on a visual task (such as reading a book). The long term consequences are simply unknown.
These problems were first identified over two decades ago but a suitable solution is still to be found.
But VR is spreading its wings rapidly in mainstream industries and the potential is immense.
You think with time and better, lighter gears and a good understanding of the tech, we will be able to solve health related issues?
Will you give it a chance?
