dangers etc

[P3D Wolfie! <werewolf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The thing that I discovered about the eyes behaviour is that they become
"used" to seeing a certain thing and it takes a while for them to settle
back.

for instance, we all know that after coming off a ship or a even a train 
after a very long ride will leave our legs feeling really weird when we
finally get back onto land.

the eyes are no different, I have played videogames in the past where my
eyes would still be moving in the same way as the main sprite long after
I had switched off the machine and was laying back reading a book...
which in this condition wasn't that easy. :)

I have heard people say that they have seen the "wagon wheels phenomenon"
[ refering to how they appear to go backwards in movies ] while looking
at hubcaps spinning around while out in normal sunlight, I have seen this
myself and only realised that it's probably happening because that persons
eyes are still in "sync" with a computer monitor.

Unless the freeview images are set too widely apart and you strain to
"join them together" [which you shouldn't ever do] then I really cannot
see how looking at them or through binoculars or microscopes can do you
any harm at all.

Take Care!

Wolfie!
