If you or your family has a history of epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, consult a medical professional before exposing
yourself to ashing light sources, rapid

To avoid discomfort such as dizziness, headache or disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for extended periods of time. If you experience any discomfort, stop watching 3D and do not immediately engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example driving a car) until your symptoms have disappeared. If symptoms persist, do not resume watching 3D without consulting a medical
professional rst.
Parents should monitor their children
during 3D viewing and ensure they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned above. Watching 3D is not recommended for children under six years of age as their visual system is not fully developed yet.
