Outline of Final Research Achievements

I researched the effects of playing a game with glassless 3D portable game machine. We asked participants to play a game, once with 2D and once with 3D viewing. After each play, they were asked about their fatigue and positive items. They felt stronger presence with 3D, like to do the game with 2D. The effects of 3D were more fatigue in eye and head while sickness was weak especially in the digestive system. I suggest that small screen is not so danger.
Participants first played games at the age of 6.5 years, and we divided the participants into two groups at this starting age (early/late). After 3D game, their fatigue was significantly higher for the late group than for the early group. It is suggested that early experiences may affect adaptability to 3D stereo viewing game.
I'd like to compare data I got from students in this research and data I will get from students when children (at present) will be students. I am doing longitudinal study about children who have 3D game experience.
