when the first steam powered trains were introduced in the late 19th century, many passengers became sick as well - because they nor any generation before has ever travelled so fast before. nowadays everybody rides the trains.
if your brain is frequently exposed to 3d films, couldnt it get used to processing that kind of imagery? so as time passes by more and more people go to the movies without a headache?
- rimantas 16y agoYour brain will be exposed to the real 3D for much longer though.
- stcredzero 16y agoOur bodies and brains have a remarkable ability to adapt to particular contexts. This effect is so strong, heroin users can accidentally overdose because their bodies' tolerance can be stronger in a particular location. I think people will be able to adapt to 3D. Whether they will want to has to do with artistry and not a new technology as a gimmick.
- krschultz 16y agoMany people still get motion sick in cars, on boats, and on airplanes. We just don't hear about it as much anymore. That doesn't mean the problem has gone away.

- GrooveStomp 16y agoWhat's the practicality of switching back to horses? It's prohibitively expensive to do so because using horses as a form of transportation is just not supported by the modern market. I say this as someone who suffers from motion sickness, yet who rides in planes and buses. There simply aren't any reasonably easy alternatives.
- btilly 16y agoActually it has improved because people acclimatize. If you're prone to motion sickness in a car, but are regularly in cars, you become less prone to motion sickness. Spend a long time not in motorized transport, and you're prone again. I discovered this the hard way. I'm prone to motion sickness, and after I'd lived in NYC for a number of years it was unpleasant for me to transition back to being in a car. But now driving doesn't bother me any more.
- levesque 16y agoNintendo, along with their imminent release of the 3ds, has issued warning to not let kids use their product too often because it could interfere with the development of their brains. So yes, you probably can get used to this sort of imagery, but do you want to? I doubt it.
