Visual discomfort while watching stereoscopic three‐dimensional movies at the cinema

This study investigates discomfort symptoms while watching Stereoscopic three‐dimensional (S3D) movies in the ‘real’ condition of a cinema. In particular, it had two main objectives: to evaluate the presence and nature of visual discomfort while watching S3D movies, and to compare visual symptoms during S3D and 2D viewing.
