martin Thanks for the article.

I have strabismus/squint myself (heterotropia).

From Wiki: "The difference between heterotropia and heterophoria can be easily understood as follows. With heterotropia, a correcting movement of the eye can be detected already by the simple cover test; with heterophoria, such correcting movement only takes place in the cross-cover test. People with heterophoria are able to create and maintain binocular fusion through vergence, and the cross-cover test purposely breaks this fusion, making the latent misalignment visible."

      tfouto Yes, all of the new ones if I use them for too long without my glasses, which separate equally the work needed between my two eyes, and if theyre too bright compared to surrounding area, meaning theres no peripheral points to fixate my gaze upon. Also if I have a really bad day, I feel its not completely ok and need to take breaks. Ive been told it might not be fixed completely, but the difference now is huge and Im willing to go on with some alternative and more specific exercises once the main therapy course is done.

      diop yes, fusion is the crucial word. The new tech probably does not allow for as easy a fusion as the old one.

      tsb Maybe because as you have noticed, the new tech makes somewhat of a 3d picture, even of a very little depth, and that creates different inputs for each eye (as 3d is essentialy made only by having different input in each eye). People with heterophoria and related issues have therefore trouble making the image sharp and connected for longer periods of time.

              martin I was about to start treatment, but i dont have much time now. And i get used to Sony Xperia XZ2. So i am ok, for now. Altough maybe in the future i might do the treatment.

                Thanx a lot for your inputs, i'm definitely going to a doc then. Martin as you write about the issue, i begin to feel i really have this heterophoria or some of them variants as well.
                I have an old article about parallax images, maybe it is also something similar, what happens to us:
                https://www.3d-forums.com/threads/stereoscopic-parallax.4/

                It is still shame however, that not much we can do, actually the consumer protection didn't answer a single thing yet either, which is quite interesting. nVidia sad, that they will forward my issue to the related teams...
                That's all one can do it seems...

                  Intel opened an initiative to figure out this problem. In the end, their engineers (an external QA team contracted for this) found that there was "no difference in output" between known-good revisions and known-bad revisions. So they gave up. I expect much the same from nVidia.

                    martin yeah, I decided to skip the prisms for now & focus(pun!) on the brock string. great you're having so much success with the exercises.

                      tsb i think there's some combination of factors going on that induce a fake 3d/parallax effect in certain people- like these http://magiceye.com
                      interesting they are promoting them as eye exercises..

                          reaganry God that thing is horrible to look at, just checked their FB site and some of the picures there are even vibrating for me! I think its very close, if not the one technique we have here about.
                          I was actually began to think, that they probably don't need any "animation", it should be doable on single still images, because i already made some screenshots before (from WoW) and i was pretty positive that the effect was still somehow there. I was just thinking how one could destroy or just lower this effect, e.g. antialiasing, sharpness-lowering, etc. I think i'll look into this some more.
                          There's one more thing, if the consumer protection doesn't react, i'll try the EU central consumer protection. I cannot just leave the whole thing behind anymore.

                            Gurm Yep i read that too, i would simply call such modus operandi "insane".

                              martin The heterophoria you describe is then a separate issue beside your "one eye is weaker", or the "one eye is weaker" itself? I'm not sure i understand it correctly. Just asking, because my left eye is indeed weaker; having prescription glasses for that for computer use as well, but it disturbed me somehow and not using it right now. Is it generally possible, that this "one eye weakness" itself is not the only problem then? I don't know if i'd test around simply with the glasses for a while until i meet the optometrist.

                                  Any of you guys tried already to Google up this kind of rendering technique? Just asking, because whatever i try, i'm not finding a single thing related to that 🙁

                                    tsb yes, separate issue than only a skilled optometrist can find.
