New study shows being too close to new TVs can cause nausea,3D TV can disorientate the brain, causing eye strain, headaches, nausea and sickness, scientists have warned. And the closer you are to the screen, the worse you feel, making TVs more problematic than cinema screens. Studies show that in up to 20 per cent of viewers it could even induce physical sickness.
In one experiment, researchers at Eindhoven University in the Netherlands asked 39 people who could see 3D to read some text on a screen from 10 feet away.
Seven of the group suffered symptoms that can lead to nausea, including double vision and eye strain, this week’s New Scientist reports.
