Aftereffect of Stereoscopic Viewing on Human Body II

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Stereopsis and Hygiene

Abstract

Despite this increase in three-dimensional (3D) display products and many studies of stereoscopic vision, the influence of stereoscopic vision on the human body has been insufficiently understood. However, symptoms such as eye fatigue and 3D motion sickness have been apprehensive when viewing 3D films for a prolonged period of time; therefore, it is important to consider the safety of viewing virtual 3D contents for contribution to society. It is generally explained to the public that accommodation and convergence are mismatched during stereoscopic vision and that this is the main reason for the visual fatigue and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) caused by 3D viewing. This chapter also remarks methods to measure the severity of motion sickness induced by viewing 3D films. From an epidemiological viewpoint, it is useful to obtain novel knowledge for reduction and/or prevention of VIMS.
