French watchdog urges no 3D for under sixes

Specialists have raised questions about the safety of 3D technology for child vision, but these concerns have rarely been formulated into guidelines -- and even more rarely into policy A French health watchdog recommended Thursday that children under six be denied access to 3D films, computers and video games, and that those up to 13 have "moderate" access. The advice is based on a "pioneering" analysis of scientific research into the possible impacts of 3D imaging on the developing eye, the agency ANSES said. ANSES "recommends that children under six, whose visual system is still developing, not be exposed to these technologies, and that use by children under 13 be moderate," it said in a statement.
