| ShadowJK | Yes I know, my boss has like +3 lenses in his left eye and -4 in his right eye, or something like that | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ShadowJK | it would drive me crazy | 00:00 |
| ShadowJK | (so basically one eye is for near and other eye is for far) | 00:00 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I am not fond of poking about in my eyes tbh | 00:00 |
| ShadowJK | So imagine the distance between your eyes is 10cm, if you are looking at an object that is also 10cm away, your eyes will be pointing "inward" by quite alot | 00:01 |
| ShadowJK | Imagine if eye tracking could measure how much "inward" your eyes are pointing, and from that determine that distance to the object that you are viewing | 00:02 |
| ShadowJK | Imagine if the lenses in your eyeglases could change shape in realtime | 00:02 |
| sixwheeledbeast | even so I don't think you can rely on that for focusing | 00:02 |
| ShadowJK | I would hope it would be better than having two fixed-focus alternatives (eye glasses on, eye glasses off) | 00:03 |
| sixwheeledbeast | It would be a nice though tho but I think we have such a simple affordable option tech like that will be decades away | 00:03 |
| ShadowJK | Bonus points, I guess, for an embeddeable sensor near the eye muscles that would detect straining and automagically adjust focus on the eyeglasses? | 00:04 |
| sixwheeledbeast | even a manually operated shutter to switch between fixed lengths would be nice | 00:05 |
| ShadowJK | yeah those exist on ebay | 00:05 |
| ShadowJK | I've been tempted to order | 00:06 |
| sixwheeledbeast | but how accurate to your prescription would they be | 00:06 |
| ShadowJK | But I suspect I'd just get angry at them like I do at safety glasses :-) | 00:06 |
| sixwheeledbeast | over safety glasses for me | 00:07 |
| ShadowJK | Ebay has variable focus eyeglases, you turn a knob until focus | 00:07 |
| sixwheeledbeast | it's easier | 00:07 |
| ShadowJK | What I mean is, I get fucking annoyed at the distortions caused by safety glasses | 00:08 |
| sixwheeledbeast | yer | 00:08 |
| ShadowJK | First time I wore safety glasses I walked one step forward, pause, one step forward, pause, and so on | 00:09 |
| ShadowJK | because the distortions making me unsure | 00:09 |
| ShadowJK | Not quite blind, but it kinda felt like being blind, because there was so many visual effects | 00:10 |
| ShadowJK | Haze in the peripheral vision like a steam leak (and since I work as a maintenance engineer, steam leaks would be pretty serious!) | 00:13 |
| ShadowJK | Glare from light sources that dance around the field of vision, quite distracting! | 00:14 |
| ShadowJK | Things stuck on the glass surface that I thought were objects, and when I turned head it was tracking me! | 00:14 |
| ShadowJK | Turning head left and right by microscopic amount in order to figure out what is stuck on the eyeglass lens and what is actually "real" is not a reflexive "automatic" thing, it's something that you have to learn how to do | 00:18 |
