I had a few people using AR the other day and some complained they where 
feeling sick or they had forgot to blink, I wondered if anyone had experienced 
the same effects. It maight be binocular rivalry and also the swapping focal 
distances, but their was no registration of overlayed objects on the display 
to objects in the real world like Tinmith/MARS style. Could be loads of factors

 Thanks again
