Many people spend almost the entire day in a near vision mode which causes a worldwide increase in myopia as studies demonstrate. The daily use computer screens is blamed for this. Whether and if so to which degree this issue can be counterbalanced through eye exercises has been examined in this project. Shift is a smart projector which can dynamically project all kinds of text onto surfaces in the user’s surroundings. By focusing on different distances, the user adapts and thus avoids a monoto- nous gaze at the screen.
