Your eyes are essentially focusing at infinity.&lt;p&gt;It can lead to completely different problems, mostly in children. Adults instead get terrible motion sickness if you&amp;#x27;re not very careful.</text></comment>

It can get tiring and you really exercise the muscles moving your eyeballs. I suspect it&amp;#x27;s something that you train &amp;#x2F; get used to in the end, but it&amp;#x27;s definitely an unexpected strain on the body. I suspect that&amp;#x27;s going to become a new thing people experience like the texting thumb RSI.</text></comment>
