Sony, the main driver of 3D, has updated the terms of service on the official PlayStation site, consisting now of the potential risks to children on the stereoscopic 3D gaming.
In the document, we read, "The vision of children (especially those under six years) is still in development. SCEA recommends you to consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or an eye doctor) before allowing young children to see images video or play 3D games in stereoscopic 3D. Adults should supervise younger children to ensure they follow the recommendations mentioned above.
This update is intended to prevent potential secondary risks, such as eyestrain, fatigue and nausea.
These terms of use are not new, and even the games have current information about some risks for anyone playing for long hours or has other symptoms or diseases.
