Is there any concern of additional eye fatigue w/ time-of-flight sensors? It's purely anecdotal but I was on a project that involved ToF sensors and and a couple on my desk pointed at me. After some time, I noticed my eyes hurt by the time I got home. The eye pain went away after I stopped having the ToF sensors pointed at my face all day.
- SV_BubbleTime 4y agoNews to me. I thought that ToF was well outside of human spectrum, like 850-950nm or so and really light power ratings. I’ve never heard of anyone fatiguing from it.
- nosianu 4y ago> I thought that ToF was well outside of human spectrum While I cannot give an exhaustive complete answer I think it is safe for me to at least mention that you don't need to be able to perceive it for it to have an impact. You don't perceive even a fraction of what impacts your body, from radiation to chemicals. The molecules still react to lots of other things that are not part of what the eye is supposed to sense. It's not like everything outside light of the human visual spectrum magically has zero impact and you, or the eye's components, are immune. Example: UV light. There also seems to be evidence of flickering lights, causing fatigue, even if you cannot see the flickering. > I’ve never heard of anyone fatiguing from it. What did you do to find out? If you didn't research it, there would only be random chance for you to find out, accidentally reading a report or being told, plus paying attention and not filtering it out like what we do with the vast majority of what reaches us.
