Oksana | drathir_tor: Depends on how it is done. If there is a separate memory card for photographs (with a direct bus from camera to card?), a separate memory card for map and navigation, a separate memory card for music and videos (with a direct bus from card to radio/Bluetooth/audio ports?) | 02:47 |

ShadowJK | Oksana, as an almost 40 year old noticing vision is getting worse, I'm finding it hard to accept that I need different glasses for viewing things at different distances | 23:35 |
ShadowJK | I'm kinda wondering why the hell nobody has ever solved this problem already | 23:35 |
ShadowJK | Is it just that most people face these things so early in life that they just accept it as inevitable and impossible to change? | 23:36 |
ShadowJK | It would be super cool to have some sort of "fluid" lenses that can alter shape in real time based on eye tracking interpreting the viewing distance | 23:37 |
ShadowJK | In hte meantime, I'm seriously considering ordering "adjustable focus" eyeglasses off of eyebay. | 23:37 |
ShadowJK | Adjustable in the sense that there's a mechanical slider. | 23:37 |
ShadowJK | On a sidenote, | 23:38 |
ShadowJK | A lot of people complain about the lack of resolution of VR glasses like Quest | 23:39 |
ShadowJK | What bothers me more are the distortions caused by the lens system in it | 23:39 |
ShadowJK | When I bring it up other people just say "Oh I'm so used to chromatic aberration in my peripheral vision because of my contact lenses // glasses anyway" | 23:40 |
ShadowJK | The VR glasses reduce resolution in all sorts of ways in the periphery, and it bothers me immensely, my eyes like physically hurt because of it, because it looks just like when there's sand in eyes or whatever | 23:41 |
ShadowJK | The sensation of physical pain is entirely imaginary, of course, because my brain is trained to think that the only reason for blurry peripheral vision must be sand/crap/grit in the eye | 23:42 |
ShadowJK | Sorry for the off topic rant. | 23:42 |
sixwheeledbeast | long sightedness and short sightedness are two different issues within the eye if you can get used to them a decent pair of varifocals are an option. | 23:43 |
sixwheeledbeast | I mean in the future some AF lens like a camera maybe possible but expensive and easily damaged. | 23:47 |
ShadowJK | That's the kind of thing I mean, why do I have to adapt to a pair of eyeglasses and learn which direction to point my eyeballs in order to get things in focus, when it could be the other way and the glases could adjust their lenses to compensate for where I am looking | 23:47 |
sicelo | what can/should those of use still with 'good' eyesight do to avoid this? | 23:48 |
sicelo | s/use/us/ | 23:48 |
ShadowJK | I still count myself to the people with "good eyesight", and I'm not sure | 23:49 |
ShadowJK | But basically the "missing part" seems to be eye-tracking that not only tracks where you are looking, but also tracks the depth of where you are looking | 23:49 |
ShadowJK | tracking how far away something is that you are looking at | 23:50 |
ShadowJK | Since variable-focus lenses already exist, it would be a question of taking the "distance" factor from eye tracking and feeding it to the lens, making the lens change focus to a distance your eyes can actually focus to, and preferably not change that too often, because it would get tiresome to constantly track a tiny change in distance with your eyes | 23:51 |
sixwheeledbeast | short sightedness is normally an issue with your eyes shape that becomes noticeable in adolescence, longsightness is an age thing and the muscles become tired and not able so pull tight enough to focus close. | 23:53 |
ShadowJK | ( The oculus quest VR glasses have some sort of "varifocal" lenses, in that things further up and down appear at different distances with regard to focus, and you're suppsoed to adjust them up and down to find the optimal position on your head for focus, but I'm so annoyed with it because it means that there's like 15% of the field of view that is in focus and the rest is out of focus) | 23:54 |
ShadowJK | And as the years go by, the muscles in my eyes will get lazier, and the range of distances I will be able to focus on will continue to shrink :( | 23:55 |
sixwheeledbeast | AF in cameras use data from the image sensor but if your eyes are the sensor then that means you need other options for distance and calibration to your eyesight. | 23:57 |
ShadowJK | I realize the "dumb" solution to automatically adjusting eyeglases would just be to wear something like VR glasses coupled with a pair of cameras that focuses on things based on how "wide" or "narrow" eyes point | 23:57 |
sixwheeledbeast | but VR screen are close to the eye so would be an issue? | 23:57 |
ShadowJK | They have lenses to create a "virtual" focus point at about a metre away or so | 23:58 |
sixwheeledbeast | I have fortunately not got to that point in needing correction for reading. | 23:58 |
sixwheeledbeast | yet | 23:59 |
ShadowJK | So if you can focus eyesight at something a metre away, you can use VR glasses | 23:59 |
sixwheeledbeast | some people like wearing contacts to solve one and then reading glasses | 23:59 |
