The zoomerang effect happens when you look at a screen for too long, especially during video calls. Imagine staring at your face on a tiny square in the middle of a big screen, it’s like looking at a mirror, but not very clear or comfortable. After a while, your brain gets confused and your eyes feel tired, making your head spin.
Examples
- A student stares at their face on a Zoom call for an hour and feels dizzy.
- An office worker feels like they’re on a merry-go-round after a long meeting.
