Are 3D movies making you sick?
I’m not talking about the prices. That’s enough to make anyone sick. I’m talking about the new effects in these 3D movies. They are making some people sick.
3D plays tricks on your brain, mimicking symptoms of motion sickness. The problem is all in your head and, in particular, your eyes. 5 percent of the population have such bad eye coordination they can’t perceive 3-D at all. But if these people watch Avatar they won’t get a headache.
About 30 percent of moviegoers have enough eye coordination to see 3-D, but only with a struggle. These are the people who are more likely to get headaches and eye fatigue while watching 3-D on the big screen.
You can’t help but wonder about long term effects should 3D invade our lives on a more regular basis.
