	Hi I am currently doing my thesis in industrial design on the
future development of the home VR system.
 
I have read from posts here and elsewhere of the possible harmful
affects on children's eyes from the use of poorly designed HMD
systems, the main factor being the damage caused by eye strain from
adjusting to the HMD's IPD. This factor could be eliminated by the use
of a monoscopic display.  What are peoples thoughts on a mono display
system for home entertainment games , would it provide adequate cues
for convincing 'immersion', or would a fully adjustable stereo HMD be
a similar solution?

Nintendo released the 'Virtual Boy' , this I understand is a mono
display but isn't full colour, has anyone any comments about this
product?

thanks. :)
