Viewing Age
y
Infants/Children
-
Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of 5 are prohibited.
-
Children under the age of 10 may overreact and become overly excited because their vision is in
development (for example: trying to touch the screen or trying to jump into it. Special monitoring
and extra attention is required for children watching 3D contents.
-
Children have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adults because the distance
between the eyes is shorter than one of adults. Therefore they will perceive more stereoscopic
depth compared to adults for the same 3D image.
y
Teenagers
-
Teenagers under the age of 19 may react with sensitivity due to stimulation from light in 3D
contents. Advise them to refrain from watching 3D contens for a long time when they are tired.

Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a
flashing light or particular pattern from 3D contents.

3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly.
Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.
