Tech Talk News: 3D Video Causes Extra Eye Strain Fatigue
3D displays cause extra eye fatigue, according to a study published by the Journal of Vision today that was funded in part by Samsung’s R&D arm. A group of researchers from the University of Califonia-Berkeley found that when test subjects watched 3D displays, they reported more eye strain and fatigue and less vision clarity afterward than when they watched 2D video. The disparity between the depth of the screen and the depth of the 3D image caused the most problems, though researchers also found the relationship between image depth and nearness of the screen also played a role in eye strain. @TatWZA @YungJohnnybravo
