3D is bad for your kids

My group is doing Media and Entertainment and I'm focusing on Nintendo within the sector.

I was happy to see Nintendo innovate ahead of the curve once again (first with motion on its wii and now with their portable DS going 3D).

I came across this article: http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/11/3d-is-dangerous-not-dangerous-optometrist-group-defends-ninte/

Since Nintendo DS is targeted at young children, it looks like their is concern over their visual system developing normally if they are exposed to this device constantly.

Since TVs are moving to 3D and not requiring glasses, it will be interesting to see the validity of this claim and whether there will be a lot of backlash with 3D TVs.
