On Tuesday, Jan. 25, from 2;40-3:30pm at the Stereoscopic Displays and Applications XXII conference, a panel of vision scientists and technologists will discuss the health aspects of 3D content.

There has been a lot of recent discussion in the media about the potential dangers of 3DTVs and 3D Movies – and yet stereoscopes have been with us for over 150 years, 3D movies for over 50 years, and 3D viewing is also widely used in industry. 3DTV is, however, transitioning from a special event to a 24/7 experience and becoming available to a wider demographic. Where is the truth in the concerns being expressed, where are the falsehoods, and where are the gaps in our knowledge? The panelists will give their views on this important topic.

Panel Moderator:
Lenny Lipton, CTO, Oculus 3D

Panel Members:
Marty Banks, University of California Berkeley
Christopher Tyler, Smith Kettlewell Eye Research Institute
Christopher Riemann, MD, Cincinnati Eye Institute
Pete Ludé, Senior Vice President, Engineering, Sony Electronics
