In todays paper, there is an article about 3dtv, sky viewers have been complaining of headaches above eyes, tight feeling headaches and other epileptic type issues.

The same for nintendo 3ds users, except this one is alot more common.

People are saying that they feel sick and unwell after watching movies on sky 3d channels.

dysphoria happens when using 3dtv and should stop after your 3dtv viewing but some people are still having this affect after which is leading too headaches, fits, nausea and so on..

BskyB are investigating the issue for there 3dtv and so are nintendo.

Personally i already know watching to much normal tv restricts vessels behind the eye which can cause issues in the future (especially if u have any epilepsy type issues)...

maybe they will have to be tested and governed with rules in the future?
On another note, i will be able to try a 3ds at the weekend, imma see if it gives headaches or not lol.

Well an update, i got to play a 3ds last night for about 2-3 hours.
Never got any headaches or anything, but got a real bad eyesocket ache lol, just above the eye between the eyebrow and eyelids, very annoying.

Not really sure if it's related to the 3ds though, but never felt sick or anything like some people are supposed too.

Infact the 3ds is strange for a little while, you get a weird sensation because you can still see your normal surroundings until you focus on the 3ds.
I played ghost recon shadow btw, which was shit.

lol. (-| not convinced the 3ds gave me the eye ache though.. yet.. prolly need to re-test.

But i was a little impressed.. tbh.. a little screen like that?

I had a quick look in Game on saturday... they were just about to shut up shop so I didn't have long to play, but it's very effective 3D, but I did feel sick after staring at the screen.

But I get that with my fujifilm W3 3D camera, it too has a lenticular screen and doesn't require glasses.

Strange that.
