Is it the 3D effect of a myth or reality? The answer is that it is both!

This article is for people with epilepsy and also for non-epileptics - the topic is important for everyone.

The advent of 3D movies like Avatar and the expected explosion of 3D television is creating anxiety in the global community to the effect of the 3D visualization of "trigger" a seizure.
