12% Of People Are Immune To 3-D Effects
If you’re not wowed by the new rash of 3-D movies, there is a chance you are immune to the stereoscopic effect of the movies.
One man disgruntled by the lack of “wow” he got from 3-D movies set out to see if he was just a curmudgeon or if he really wasn’t seeing the same thing.
He found that he was among the small fraction of people upon which 3-D effects simply don’t work. These people, sadly, are wasting the premium ticket price because their eyes aren’t working in tandem like they should.
To get the benefit of 3D and have normal depth perception, stereovision (otherwise known as binocular vision) is needed with two eyes that work together simultaneously as a coordinated team.
At least 12% of people have some type of problem with their binocular vision but less than five percent have severe visual disabilities, making appreciation of 3D tricky or impossible.
