I have been doing research on virtual reaality and have one final 
question.  For as long as I can remember 'experts' have been telling
the US public that watching TV close is bad for our eyes, and that
pregnant women should avoid computer terminals.  Is there something
special about the EyePhones that don't hurt the human eyes? I have
read quite a bit on VR, thanks to some of you, and that question
never came up in any of my readings. Is there something that I missed
that would make it alright to have screens a few inches from my eyes.
It seems as though that would cause a strain on my eyes. Am I way
off base? Are the future VR users all going to be hurting their eyes
after each VR experience? I have finished my paper, but I am still 
interested in responses to my question. Thank you for your time.
