While watching television can provoke seizures in children with epilepsy, 3D TV doesn’t appear to be any worse than the ordinary sort.

However, as other investigations have found, 3D TV can have other effects onchildren’s health. As many as one in five of the study subjects reported symptoms such as nausea, headache and dizziness.

In the first research of its kind, researchers at the University of Munich, Germany and the University of Salzburg, Austria, exposed 140 children – the median age was 12 – to a standard test for photosensitivity, called photo-paroxysmal stimulation, along with 15 minutes of watching a 3D TV.  …

What does seem to make a difference, say the researchers, is the content of programs, rather than they type of television on which they’re watched.

Seizures can be triggered by color, contrast, pattern, and flicker, independent of whether the viewing medium is a 2D or 3D TV, they found.
