3-D Games are very famous these days as all my friends know this and many of us are very crazy to play these games. But we should also well aware following information:-
There is a possibility that 3-D images which send different images to the left and right eye could affect the development of vision in small children
The undated statement appeared on a section of the company’s Japanese website devoted to its upcoming 3DS hand held.
Doctor should be consulted before kids are allowed use the 3-D functionality on its PlayStation game console, children should be closely monitored while watching new 3-D TVs that don’t require glasses.
The 3-D technology can also cause adult viewers to tire and feel sick.
Most 3-D devices on the market today rely on technology that rapidly flashes separate images to each eye, which creates a sense of depth. Electronics and entertainment companies around the world are banking on 3-D to fuel a new boom in TV, movies and games.
Nintendo’s new 3DS, the latest in its wildly successful DS line of handheld consoles, will go on sale in February in Japan, then March in Europe and the US.
It looks much like the DS machines now on sale, with two screens that fold open. The top screen shows images in 3-D without glasses, but can also be switched into standard mode.
I got all the information from a local magazine so i decide to share this with my myloters. Parents should take care of such kind of things.
What is your opinion my friends.?

Technology means convenience and convenience usually means some sacrifices. Like buying food. Items are much cheaper in markets rather than convenience stores but those stores can be found anywhere and open 24 hours so we would just pay up the something extra so that we can buy the item that we need.
For technology, we get breakthroughs everyday, more for our viewing pleasure. So all the more realistic that visuals get, the higher the risk that we get to our eyes, ears, and over all health. We just havent found a safer way to develop it. Or maybe there isnt really any other way._

I have heard that 3D can harm people's eyes. Not only in games but on the latest TVs too. We have decided that we are not going to bother going for 3D as we are quite satisfied with our HD TV. I reckon that we would soon get used to 3D anyway, and it just not worth risking our eyesight and health.

Thats right. And there is nothing in replacement of eyes. Eyes are most important part of our body thats why we should take extra care of them. And its our duty to protect our children also such kind of thing.
I have seen many children around me who are addicted of games like Nintendo and other 3-D games.
You are doing very well to avoid 3D games and other 3Ds.
Infect its very informative and useful news that i have shared. I shared it because many of us donn't know this.
