Avoid 3D sickness – Location Location Location
Front row seats aren’t always the most favourable to have for the best view, and this is especially true of watching movies in 3D. Those who have experienced 3D sickness often share one thing in common – the location of where they are seated. Those who sit near the back of the cinema and are central to the screen are less likely to experience nauseousness and headaches, compared to those who may be sitting at the front and off center.
Remember, illness from a 3D experience is essentially motion sickness, so the more in tune to the movie the more chance you will have a nausea free experience. If you are booking tickets in advance to the cinema to watch a 3D movie and have the option of seat selection, picking a seat anywhere from the middle to the back and as centrally as possible is advisable. If you cannot choose your seat beforehand get there early.
In case you can’t get the best seat in the house take plenty of water and if you begin to feel ill close your eyes at regular intervals or avert them from the big screen.
