Another reason NOT to purchase any 3D electronic products: Nintendo has issued a health warning for the long-awaited 3D version of its best-selling DS games console.
“The Japanese computer giant has said children under the age of six should not use the device in 3D mode as it may harm their eyesight.
“The Nintendo 3DS represents a major breakthrough as it will be the first hand-held games console to offer 3D images of both games and films without the need for glasses, reports the Daily Mail.
“The warning follows comments made by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who said: ‘We will recommend that very young children not look at 3-D images. ‘That’s because, (in) young children, the muscles for the eyes are not fully formed.’
“Its advice included warnings to children, pregnant women, the elderly and those suffering from serious medical conditions.
“The catch-all alert also included those with a history of epilepsy and strokes or even those who had been drinking.
“It highlighted a number of alarming side effects including confusion, nausea, convulsions, altered vision, light-headedness, dizziness, involuntary movements such as eye or muscle twitching and cramps.
Additionally, many people experience motion sickness and headaches – myself included – watching 3D movies.
