Err, red is about the least intense (in terms of energy per photon) frequency of light that you're likely to see without equipment. That's why it's used in darkrooms for film development, and for hunting frogs (the poor little buggers don't respond to red light). I'm not an eye expert, but I'd worry more about stuff on the other end of the visible spectrum, near the ultraviolet. -- Michael Hohensee Rudy Gingles wrote: > > I had a question about the colors used in many of the HMDs.
