3D Television May be Hazardous

Samsung, one of several companies developing 3D television, has issued a warning to users that the new technology may have adverse effects on some viewers´ health.

The negative effects may include hallucinations, dizziness, decreased postural stability, eye strain and twitching, nausea, epileptic seizures, stroke, and disassociation from the real world. They also say people drinking alcohol should avoid 3D TV.

Some of the symptoms may be alleviated by simply taking a break from viewing the television, while others may require seeing a doctor. The warnings come as the technology is about to make the transition from testing to the consumer market.
