But you don't own one. How would you know? Surely if the DEV KIT caused eye cancer you would have reported it way back when those were available. No new model has reached consumers yet so nothing has changed from the days of the safe dev kit.
>>323102790
So? Sunlight is far stronger and has much more dangerous radiation but normies that live outside are still alive and kicking.
This "computer screens release dangerous radiation" meme needs to die, it was only a real thing in super old CRT monitors that had a bit too much x-ray radiation.

White light is absolutely fine because it is composed of all other colours on the spectrum which have different wavelengths, meaning they all cancel out (which is why it's white) this on the other hand is emitting pixels of different colours which is shining a ton of energy that's adding onto one another straight onto your eyes
>>323103039
You can't blame a product for your fuckup, they even constantly tell you to have 15 min breaks every 30 mins. Just know the precautions and treat your eyes well.
>>323103519
>White light is absolutely fine because it is composed of all other colours on the spectrum which have different wavelengths, meaning they all cancel out
Stop
>>323103039
It's not much different than staring at a computer screen in a dark room. This actually is bad for your eyes, but it won't cause cancer. If you were genuinely concerned about this, eye wear which filters out a portion of the light and protects your eyes is available. Saying that it will cause cancer is a baseless exaggeration.
>>323103748
If you turn the brightness down, this is actually not bad for your eyes.

Electromagnetic waves are a form of radiation, regardless of their wavelength. That's why it's called electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves are a form of radiation just as gamma waves are.
The OP is completely wrong, because visible light will not penetrate deeply into your body. Although, he's not completely wrong, because these screens can cause eye damage. Even radio waves can be harmful if they have enough energy.

>>323103936
>>323103643
Isnt it well known that if you take two sinusoidal waves that have a half period difference and put them together you end up with nothing?
White light is the same except you have an infinite amount of periods and frequencies which all collate to cancel each other out.

>>323105306
Sorry I must not have explained it properly. The colour and the 'force' is cancelling itself out, not the light. In the same way you can pour two buckets of differently coloured water out in different intervals, the colours cancel out as do the waves but you still end up with more water, which is also why white light is generally brighter, because it literally contains more light.

Ergo the oculus rift doesn't cause cancer.
>>323106120
This only happens if you the walls in the room are white and parallel to the monitor, simply tilt the monitor a bit and you will get rid of white light buildup.
>>323106575
It does, it uses lenses.
>>323102732
Its pretty cool. Like being really drunk but it can instantly kill you and how embarrasing would that be?
>>323106737
Your eyes have lenses, do your eyes cause cancer?
>>323106254
Waves move up and down as well as along, they can cancel each other out horizontally (which is what I'm talking about) as well as vertically.
Of course if you got two beams of tge same light and shone them at each other you'd end up with no, or more specifically stationary light because they'd cancel each other out vertically but I'm not on about that here. If you got two opposite periods of light they would cancel out into a straight beam
>>323106808
If you face them at the sun they do.
>>323106737
>>323106575
Yeah, the lenses on VR sets work like a magnifying glass in sunlight, it concentrates the light and slowly burns your retina.
>>323106948
so turn down the brightness to be the equivalent of that of a regular computer monitor.
>>323105667
which meme would you fug?
>>323104994
How would you know if its the 1# upvoted thing in r/4chan? Are you a messenger from reddit?
Also why should we fucking care?
>>323107024
That won't work because the lenses concentrate the light no matter what, and the photons are too close to release their radiation (the radiation half-life of a photon is 0.0001 seconds, this is about 2 feet at light speed).
No matter how dark the screen is you will still be hit by the radioactive photons.
>>323107386
Photons do not decay, they don't have mass.
>>323107386
Why can't we invent radioinactive photons then?
>>323102981
>This new fad
You haven't been here for very long have you
>>323106120
>...the colours cancel out as do the waves but you still end up with more water
Light at different wavelengths do not interfere with each other. That's why they can be separated through dispersion or refraction (like with a prism). They occupy different values on the frequency spectrum.
>...white light is generally brighter, because it literally contains more light.
This is actually true. A signal with higher bandwidth, as with light across the entire EM spectrum, will have more energy.
>>323107514
The accompanying radiation that is created when a photon is born does have mass, but the VR screen is too close so it doesn't have enough time to die off before hitting your eyes.
>>323107898
>The accompanying radiation that is created when a photon is born does have mass,

I think we will be fine if developers don't use too much light and explosions, just make games set in dark basements.

lol it's true. I haven't been on 4chan since fucking 2010.
>>323107037
Mega milk?
>>323107514
If photons don't decay then how come my room is instantly dark when I turn the light off?
Also how come no one destroyed the universe by making a cube with one-way mirrors that trap photons inside it until it explodes?
>>323108341
Because the energy is converted into heat energy as walls and mirrors do not reflect with 100% efficiency.
the lenses focus the light onto your retinas and slowly damage them. it's the same as how wearing glasses makes your eyesight worse. it should be fine if you only use it occasionally though.
>>323108138

Photons are radiation. Theoretically, the photons themselves should not decay, because they travel at the speed of light.

>>323108840
Actually the bigger problem is that you focus for too long at a fairly close point, that's why the recommendation is to focus on something far away for a few minutes to avoid fatigue.
VR lenses set the focus to infinity so it should be interesting to see if the same problem happens.

abestos and lead isnt even that bad for you. in the first case, its the DUST thats bad, abestos is still used in a shitload of things but with appropriate protection and covering. hell, the uncovered shit 50 years ago was perfectly safe, its the fact that its had 50 years EXPOSURE that makes it dangerous. lead? same shit. i can think of atleast one kitchen appliance that directly contains shit designed to go into food, without any protective covering.

because lead is soft and malleable, removable with just your hands and therefor, EASY TO STEAL. less shit to steal, means less things actually possible to STEAL. correlation is not cause, nigga.
>>323110596
you dont get mild fatigue from reading books or staring at monitors for long periods of time. you get that from lowered blinking rates, which applies to anything of any interest, that you focus on.
>>323110663
Fatigue.
You are fucking stupid if you think that eye fatigue is not a real thing, it's widely documented.
>>323110784
It's a combination of factors which include lowered blink rate, continuous close focus and even muscle fatigue caused by the constant stuttery movement you do when reading words.
Again, it's a widely documented thing.
>>323111479

>>323102697
Yes and no.
It works on the same basic principle as 3D glasses or the Nintendo 3DS: Separate images beamed into each eye to give the illusion of depth.
Your eyes can tell the difference between something that looks like it's far away, and something that *is* far away, and when something looks like it's far away but isn't, that causes eye strain.
The Rift is no different in that regard than any other currently existing method of 3D
