Think about the failure of 3D movies at home and how your eyes work. When our eyes focus at a distance the muscles refocus the lens.  Virtual 3D environments, especially like a headset, force the eye to unnaturally focus “distant” scenes on a screen at a fixed short distance from your eye, causing eye strain during extended use. The closer the screen, the greater the strain.

When I was certifying with the American Production and Inventory Control Society, we were taught that W. Edward Deming taught the principles of Statistical Process Control to Japanese scientists and engineers when American manufacturers, flush from victories in WWII, were arrogantly unenthusiastic about applying SPC to our own factories. That was between 1945 and 1950, though the principles of SPC were known here since the 1920's. You might say they took somethng we invented and discarded, then spanked us with it over the sixty plus years.

Yeah, well, after Anntenagate and following a painful experience with a BD weed trimmer that had a five star rating AND a serious engineering flaw, I dumped Consumer Reports forever and saved the subscription fee. The flaw? That was the fact the belt drive would melt the plastic drive pulley after about 2 hours total run time. Is the pulley replaceable? No, that’s part of the motor assembly. $80 and you install if the warranty is out or voided. I voided mine because I REALLY wanted to know what was going on and not comfortable with taking it in for warranty service every othe time I used it. FIVE STARS! Bye-bye CR…
