Abstract

Some health problems such as photo sensitive epilepsy, motion sickness, and visual fatigue might be caused by 3D TV. This study evaluated the effects of watching 3D TV in elderly (= 75.39 &plusmn; 4.16 years) and young subjects (= 26.25 &plusmn; 2.53 years) using electrocardiography (ECG) and a subjective evaluation. As a result, the r-r interval changes of the old showed significant difference (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05) comparing to that of the younger. This result supports the subjective evaluation; the old felt more visual fatigue and showed stronger desire of stop watching 3D TV. As a conclusion, new guides for making 3D TV contents are needed.
