The Nintendo 3DSyndrome
Considering the incertitude posed by the commercialization of the Nintendo 3Ds game console and the general or specific health risks for certain sections of the population at risk to 3D technology, the nongovernmental organization Robin des Bois called for ANSES – the National Agency for the Sanitation of Food, Work, and the Environment – to launch an inquiry at the end of January. This request was deemed acceptable, and a copy of it was transmitted to the ministers of tutelage of ANSES.
ANSES will deliver in a few months a warning on the health effects of 3D technology applied to screens in daily use: televisions, cell phones, and game consoles. This warning will also be carried by the technology recently employed by Nintendo.
