Oof. I’ve just had to rapidly nope out of Cult of Luna because of the coloured strobe lighting. Wtf? I’ve never had photosensitivity before. Insta-nausea.

Anyone else experienced this?

Did you know that the sun itself can induce seizures? Well now you do.

If you're watching the opening ceremonies, there are some flashy bits around the 35 minute mark that could cause problems if you're photosensitive, so be aware. (I recorded the earlier showing so I'm a little ahead.)

I get the cameras on max that we don't see Next came the full screen surveillance on buses that sorta flashes when it repositions- I try not to sit on that side #photosensitivity #seizures but now apparently the platform cameras have been integrated into the fare machines so when noone is buying a ticket, it's watching you. #surveillance isn't always a good thing- #anxiety #neurodivergent

Last night, I tried to watch A New Hope for the first time in decades. Within the first five minutes, the flashing lights triggered a #migraine (not the laser fire itself, but the way the screen periodically went white when there was a hit).

The last time I watched Star Wars was on DVD and I don't remember this. Is it something to do with the upscaling? Disney Plus? My own device?

If it's part of the film, I'm really confused why there's no warning for #photosensitive viewers at the beginning.

Would really appreciate my fellow #disabled peeps helping me out with this one, because I'd like to watch Star Wars again.

@loops should have settings / toggle for photosensitive people. Probably as a standardised message on a CW. It doesn't affect me very much, but sometimes I'd prefer not to see flashy videos. It'd be a must-have for anyone who is actually photosensitive, and make #LoopsVideo more accessible.

Yesterday, my students presented our work at the ACM ASSETS conference. "Not Only Annpying. But Dangerous": Devising an Ecology of Protections for Photosensitive Social Media Users" https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3663548.3675610

In this study, we investigate prior work, conduct survey inquiries, and use co-design methods to explore how social media design choices influence exposure to dangerous flashing content which can trigger seizures, migraines, nausea, and disorientation for photosensitive users.

Through our analysis, we identify the current ecosystem of flashing content on the Internet, and propose a more robust ecology of protections, including on-device graphics filters that directly edit pixels buffers to prevent flashing before it occurs.

First, existing WCAG guidelines against auto-play of media need to be enforced. Second, users should have device level control over animation that may trigger flashing, and this control shpuld not be able to be reset by platforms that try to enforce autoplay to support their own ad revenue. Third, other users need to be aware of what makes content dangerous, so thay they may stop circulating it and causing accidental exposure. Fourth, creators need to know what makes content dangerous, and how they can test for danger, to prevent them from creating dangerous media in the first place. This includes corporate creators, like movie studios, whose ads for acrion movies have been a recent source of autoplaying strobing content in movie trailors posted via ad platforms. Fifth, platforms, including GIF libraries, but also all social platforms, need to implement reporting mechanisms specifically for flashing content which can remove that content from circulation. Sixth, there should be actual penalties for platforms and creators that do not react to, correct, and remove dangerous content, or who force auto-play on users.

And seventh, device manufacturers and operating system developers need to create on-device filters that eliminate flashing through simple real time post-processing. Machine Learning classification and prediction algorithms ARE NOT NECESSARY. We can do this with simple math. Yes it may sometimes look weird. But also people won't be dying in their sleep.

This work is very important to me, and I've been working on it (on the side) since 2017. I wasn't allowed to pursue it fully as a graduate student. As faculty, I still had to string the project together on wishes. And I'm still looking for a collaborator to work on the implementation, though if industry would just get their shit together and do it themselves, that'd be great.

Still working on the All Your Breath Are Belong To Us video (gradually) and actually might be getting near completion (ha ha yes); audio here: https://www.tumblr.com/pipzeroes/728731254678290432

More context in the thread: https://zeroes.ca/@pip/110069652708129811

One thing, though, is that I'd like to emulate the original video sequence at the coda, the end part of the song where it's like "BASE BASE BASE BASE...!" (except it's "BREATH BREATH BREATH" etc.)

It'd be a bunch of images quickly changing, a different one for each "BREATH" (16 images in under 4 seconds).

The thing is, though, that for some people quickly flashing images can have consequences (photosensitive epilepsy, nausea, migraine etc.)

This is the original sequence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg&t=231s (video queued to that point; warning, quickly changing images, in case viewing stuff like that is an issue for you- and also, uh, it might be a bit loud, so, warning if you are on headphones).

I know that the risk of photosensitive epilepsy is increased based on the frequency of the flash (that is, how quickly the light is flashing), the brightness, and the contrast with background lighting...

So, I am thinking:

- Instead of having the images flash in their order of appearance, sorting them so it only goes light-light-light-dark-dark-dark instead of light-dark-light-dark-light-light to help reduce the risk.

- And if it does reduce the risk but there could still be risk, how I would word a note beforehand to be concise and effective...

Any other thoughts from those with experience mitigating these kinds of risks would be appreciated; thanks.

It'd be a bunch of images quickly changing, a different one for each "BREATH" (16 images in under 4 seconds).

The thing is, though, that for some people quickly flashing images can have consequences (photosensitive epilepsy, nausea, migraine etc.)

This is the original sequence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg&t=231s (video queued to that point; warning, quickly changing images, in case viewing stuff like that is an issue for you- and also, uh, it might be a bit loud, so, warning if you are on headphones).

I know that the risk of photosensitive epilepsy is increased based on the frequency of the flash (that is, how quickly the light is flashing), the brightness, and the contrast with background lighting...

So, I am thinking:

- Instead of having the images flash in their order of appearance, sorting them so it only goes light-light-light-dark-dark-dark instead of light-dark-light-dark-light-light to help reduce the risk.

- And if it does reduce the risk but there could still be risk, how I would word a note beforehand to be concise and effective...

Any other thoughts from those with experience mitigating these kinds of risks would be appreciated; thanks.

🇬🇧 Dark video due to #Photosensitivity. I spend the afternoons resting on the armchair with indirect lighting behind me.

🇪🇸 Siento la oscuridad. Los vídeos salen con menos luz que las fotos. Pero la #fotofobia manda 😎 y me paso la tarde en el sofá con la lámpara de luz indirecta detrás.
