Does 3D Make Your Head Happy Or Ache? 281
MojoKid writes "Nintendo has quasi-acknowledged that its 3DS can cause headaches and should not be used by children under 7. The glasses-free 3D handheld gaming device launched this week. Meanwhile, new research commissioned by the Blu-ray Disc Association is trying to improve the health image of 3D. Its research shows that the brain is more attentive when watching a 3D movie than when watching HD or SDTV, making the movie a more pleasurable experience. The issue, doctors say, is that 3D works by tricking the brain into making you think you are physically moving in relation to your surroundings. But you aren't. So your inner ear is not experiencing the movement that corresponds to what the eyes are seeing. This doesn't normally happen in real life. No one would deny that 3D is more immersive; that's why people like it, particularly for gaming. But the question is ... does the brain love 3D or not? Answer: not really."

This 3D world makes me sick! 3D trees, 3D people, 3D buildings...
That's why I just prefer to spend my whole time staring at my 2D computer screen in my parents basement.

not buying into 3D is like piracy. you're robbing the MPAA of revenue by not buying their 3D blu-rays.
you must buy a 3d telly today, and as many glasses as there are people living in your street.
or the MPAA will sue to recover lost revenue.
