RISK OF CONVULSIONS (PARROT COCKPITGLASSES)
For some people (about 1 in 4,000), strong light stimulation or a rapid succession
of images can cause severe dizziness, convulsions, epileptic seizures or a feeling
of faintness, which can occur when watching television, playing video games or
during a virtual reality experience, even if they have never felt such discomfort
before or have no history of convulsions or epileptic seizures. These types of
ailments are more common in children and young adults under the age of 20.
