  • Why Apple Vision Pro's constant strobing matters to your health

    It's the frequency, not the duty cycle that's important.  Many Modern LED lights flicker at 100Hz or 120Hz depending on where you are in the world.  TV Screens flicker somewhere between 25Hz and 240Hz, depending on what you are watching and the specific TV.   

    Video games have warnings because they may have content that includes explosions.  These explosions may included flashes of light that are turning on/off 7 to 10 times per second (that's 7Hz to 10Hz).

    My understanding is that the Apple Vision Pro has a refresh (flicker) rate of at least 90Hz.  That's not typically an issue
    It's both, right? As per the neurologists and physicists we spoke to for this piece, If a OLED segment has a variable duty cycle, that alters the neurological impact frequency regardless of persistence of vision's perception of the light too. This is practically demonstrated in your explosions example.

    That is interesting.  Many of us can get Migraine Auras from too many sparkly lights or too much blue light.  I think of these Auras as an epilepsy like cascade failure that’s confined to the visual cortex.  You just have to get yourself to a dark quiet place and chill and it resolves.  No headache and on a good day just 20-30minutes.  You do loose partial vision and if you ignore it bad things start to happen. Hopefully someone is thinking about that too.
    Sounds like a visual migraine. I've had two or three in my life.

    There's a lot of research going on right now that associates migraine activity with epilepsy centers and neuronal electrical reaction cascades. It's pretty fascinating, but it's also very early.

  • $300 Vision Pro developer strap is just an expensive USB2 device

    Any chance this allows for connecting other USB accessories (like Apple dongles or a USB key?)
     Has any developer tried that out?
    We have, and nothing works.

  • How to use Mac Virtual Display for Apple Vision Pro with desktop Macs and MacBooks

    Does the desktop Mac need a display for this to work?  In other words, can I just setup a Mac Mini and use the AVP as its only/primary display?  Guessing I’ll need one initially to setup the prerequisites like Bluetooth and WiFi. 
    And... is the connection between the two over an existing LAN? Or is it a dedicated Wifi/Bluetooth connection? 

    And will this work over the Internet if I'm in a coffee shop?
    In answer to the headless Mac mini question, set up originally using a display, connect a $8 HDMI spoofer plug so the Mac mini thinks it's connected to a monitor, and you're good to go.

    In answer to your question, RCS1000, it works with my Mac Studio with the Wi-Fi off, so existing LAN, it seems.

    It does not work over the Internet if you're in a coffee shop.

  • Apple's next Studio Display could be curved and very secure

    Samsung has a 7680x2160 curved display that's 57 inches on the diagonal.
