I have experimented with binoccular HMDs. The worst problems I found were from focusing at a fixed distance while looking at objects at different distances. This was causing me and a few other people something similar to motion sickness. The focal length of your eyes is telling your brain that the objects are 6ft away while the convergence is saying something else. I also had trouble focusing after removing the HMD. The manufacturer recomends not using the device for more then 15 minutes at a time. They also recommended a minimum age for using the display since young brains and eyes could permanently adapt to the HMD. If the display could incorporate some sort of variable focus, the whole problem could be avoided. I have had some thoughts on this but I do not have the facilities to build the hardware. The basic premis is a projection technology that utilized focal length as part of the video stream (R,G,B,F). > > Hello, > > a friend of mine told me, that some german computer magazine tested > HMDs for games.
