Article Source: CNNTake your thumb and hold it out directly in front of you, away from your face. Now close the left eye. Open it and close the right eye.
Your thumb appears to have moved, even though you didn't move it with your arm. Three-D technology capitalizes on this effect, taking advantage of the brain's ability to fuse two images into one. Those glasses that you have to wear when watching something in 3-D are basically helping your brain interpret two flat images as one object that has depth.
This doesn't surprise me. I get slight motion sickness when watching an Imax film. I haven't tried a 3-D one yet. I hadn't really thought about it causing problems. And the fact that I have slight prisms in my regular glasses - I wonder what effect that would have. Interesting article!

I don't get sea sick (motion sickness). My husband does. He's bothered by boating, long car rides and amusement park rides.
We have also found that me and the kids don't get sick at the 3D movies, but he does. He has to take a Dramamine before we go.

Then I guess the article is right. Never heard of it before.
Yep..Even with Dramamine, I'll look over at him sometimes and he'll just be listening with the glasses off and his eyes closed. I'm so glad I don't get that. I understand it's awful with nausea and headache.
