Knowing nothing of the affliction, would this kind of scenario affect people with epilepsy? How would you counteract it? Does it mean that you need to recognise a potential strobe situation and slow down to accommodate it?</p> <p>I really hope that I haven't offended anyone with this post but I am genuinely interested in the topic. </p>
