That's since to a considerable extent, he said, three-dimensional projections close to the way the human eyes assemble 3-D images.

Nintendo has mentioned that it will not enable young kids 6 and younger to use the 3-D outcome of the Nintendo 3DS when they demo the handheld appurtenance at its preview events, citing promising sick belongings on kids' building eyesight. It is advising parents to lock the 3-D manifestation ability using parental manage functions on the device.

The company's concerns could be founded on commentary similar to this, that Dr. Hunter mentions after that in the piece:
