Most importantly, the devices that academicswore years ago were very different in fundamental ways from systems like Glass, despite what a casualobserver might perceive as superficial similarities. For example, the position of the camera has no impacton the natural vision of the wearer with Glass, but in systems like those mentioned by Mann where thecamera is providing the only view of the environment (video see-through systems), camera position mayhave some disorienting effect. I dont think its reasonable to assume that experiences with older anddifferent display systems with completely different design and utility would be consistent with the kinds oftechnologies that are being developed today. Peli said Manns Digital EyeTap product, as described on the E yeTap web site is a video see-through device, as compared to Glass which is an optical see-through device. Thus, his conclusion on the camera position effect is irrelevant to Glass, he said. In an interview, I asked Peli whether binocular rivalry could be an issue with Glass. Binocular rivalry occurs when each eye sees a different image and perception alternates between the two images.

Uggla said the eye surgery “was a mutual decision.” “Obviously, I don’t want to go on the DL whatsoever, but at the same time we’ve got to do what’s best for the team right now,” he said. “I’ve been struggling pretty bad and battling with the contacts and grinding with these things day in and day out. I think the best thing to do it go ahead and so it now.” Until Tuesday, Uggla’s goal had been to postpone the procedure until the offseason. “They approached me with it today and as much as I wanted to argue and be like `You can’t do this,’ at the same time there’s got to be production out there on that field and I haven’t been doing it,” Uggla said. “So it’s tough for me to make an argument when I want to do what’s right for this team.” Uggla said he expects to have the procedure as soon as possible and miss only two weeks.
