Are 3D TVs Hazardous To Your Health? These Three Facts Can Help You Decide
3D TV has arrived. It's a new generation TV that's shown up in the HDTV market. The jury is still out on this new HDTV product. Just for the record a 3D Television set is a TV that permits home viewers to enjoy video content using a stereo for the eyes effect. In 3D, 2 separate images of the identical scene are utilized, 1 image for each eye. When you wear the 3D TV eyeglasses, the images are combined and it results in creating a single image. This technology creates the 3rd dimension illusion that is displayed on your TV. Now you ought to know that everyone might not be able to see this 3D effect. They suffer from something called from stereo blindness. However it's rare and to be truthful very few people have this problem.
You can be sure that 2011 will see 3D TV rise to the next level because big business is betting that consumers will jump on this new High Def product. Led by the sports industry (can you see the potential there) ESPN is banking on a 3D fan following. To be fair watching sports in 3D is something different. The home will be the spot where you'll be watching this and although we can currently watch high-definition TV sports with clarity and detail, the 3D experience pulls you into the event so that you feel like a part of the game. You can even see the motion picture industry getting into the act. They are churning out a new crop of 3D movies for our consumption.
There are a couple of things you need to know about 3D technology. There is no technology that allows one TV to display a 2D and 3D picture simultaneously. Also not all 3D TVs are the same. Looks like we have the old Plasma vs LCD controversy reprised. Yep plasma enthusiasts swear that 3D is much better suited to their technology and they may be right. Only time will tell. The plasma manufacturers believe 3D is their future and that the 3D viewing experience with a plasma TV is superior.

On of the most respected high tech big businesses, IBM, believes that the future of holographic technology will evolve from 3D TV. This innovative holographic technology may eventually be shrunk down for use on our mobile phones and moreover has telepresence (video conferencing) uses. IBM envisions that our computer interaction will change as a result of this 3D technology. So here's the question. Is 3D here to stay or just a passing fad? Is this something people would actually buy for their home? Three things about 3D TV that may surprise you.
1. 3D has a funny way of ruining TV watching. Let's face we all spend a lot of family time around the TV. Sadly much of our family socialization revolves around our TV viewing. The glasses restrict us to staring at the TV so watching 3D programming changes this interaction. Multi-taskers will lose their ability to do other things while watching their 3D TV. This means no texting , tweeting or chatting while watching 3D TV.
2. TV watching is usually a family experience so in many ways it's a form of socializing. Watching 3D programming significantly changes this interaction. The glasses restrict us to just looking at the TV. Also multi-taskers will not like the inability to do other things (like multi-task!) while entranced by their 3D TV. This means no chatting, tweeting or texting while watching a show.
3. Believe it or not you really need to think about the health risks. 3D viewing can cause headaches and eye-strain for some people. Also, similar to virtual reality gaming, 3D tricks the brain and can cause disorientation or nausea. I know because virtual reality games have that effect on me and it's fairly common. Lastly nobody knows about the potential for long-term effects from watching extended 3D TV.
So those are the big three reasons to me with a couple of side ones thrown in. Ahh - OK I can't help myself because I am a critic. Let me throw in one last thing. There is currently a lack of content so if you buy one of these TVs you won't have too much to watch. 3D may stick around but they need more innovation (maybe a TV that does not require those darn glasses). I think I'll wait and see how this 3D really turns out.
