Health tips imparted to 3D viewers by Japanese business group

A handbook has been released by a group of Japanese businesses which advises viewers on health and safety tips while watching 3D TV for countering symptoms such as nausea, dizziness and eye fatigue.

The guidebook stated that there are some basic rules which one should know while watching 3D images safely. The guide states that audiences should respect the viewing distances which is normally three times the height of the screen and viewers should abstain from watching it in case they feel that they cannot watch 3D images after lengthened viewing.

Companies should urge viewers to stop watching TV in case they start to feel tired or sick. In case of infants too parents need to undertake discretion. The handbook even requests 3D televisions makers to take preventive measures against harmful symptoms which affect unaware viewers such as unsynchronised shutters on glasses.
