I'm a programmer so I spend all day looking at the computer screen, and I'm a nerd so I often spend the evenings gazing at computer screens as well.
As I age one of my eyes is sensitive to strain, dryness, allergies, etc. For some reason, after playing Glitch, this sensitive eye has a crazy red strain spot on it - so bad that I ended up going to the doctor thinking that I burst a vessel. (Doc diagnosed it as allergies). After the last extra-long pause we had, the eye returned to normal. Well the test has been back on and in just a couple days, my eye has re-inflamed.
ERGO I propose an optional setting of an eye-rest reminder that you can set, perhaps popping up a modal prompting you to blink, look in the distance, etc. Very similar to the rest reminders when you play a Nintendo Wii. I'm saying this because I think Glitch is more prone to eye strain than other games, as you cannot "queue" actions and must always be watching for your task to finish. I don't have this issue with any of the other games or computer related activities I partake in.
What do you think? Am I just a eyeball freak of nature or have any of you experienced eye strain? Or should I just set my own reminder timer?
