How can 3-D technology improve the vision of viewers?In order to see 3-D, you must have good binocular vision.
Binocular vision: the ability to align and focus both eyes accurately on an object, and then combine the visual images from each eye into a single, clear three dimensional perception. To the suprise of many, some people may actually not be able to see in 3-D, because of vision problems that have been uncorrected. Because of this, some individuals may not have functional binocular vision. Symptoms that may indicate that you have trouble seeing 3-D are dizziness, headaches, nausea and blurred vision. Below, is a video about 3-D viewing and vision, with experts' take on it. Here is a Great Starter Video for Those of you New to the World of VisionThis Video Incorporates both 3-D Viewing and How the Eye Works. Check it out! | Check out this video to see Bill Nye's take on the eyeball and to see a live scale model of how your eye works.
