It seems like it would be useful to do this at the OS level too, not just per application. I.e. detect and filter out combinations of pixels sent to the screen that could cause a seizure. That would make the whole device a lot safer. I wonder if (a) this is possible and (b) whether it would interfere too much with desirable animations.
Edit: There is (offline) software to check if a video could cause a seizure: https://trace.umd.edu/peat https://trace.umd.edu/peat.
- wapz 10y agoIt's probably possible on an OS level but I'm guessing it's an expensive task. If you're playing a 3d game that's resource intensive and you want to check 'every' frame you'll surely take a performance hit. I think disabling gif/movies/etc from playing automatically would be almost as effective and not as much overhead (toggle option of course)
