2011 was supposed to be the year that 3D gaming hit its stride. Â Remember back at E3 2010 when the 3DS was announced and 3D gaming and motion controllers were all the rage? Â Well apparently, the only who thinks that they are, are the people that make them. Â According to a recent survey, gamers actually think that 3D does little to enhance the experience.
The survey which spoke with 1600 adult gamers relayed findings where 28% of players that used a Nintendo 3DS felt that 3D made it worse.
The home theater experience had a better outcome.  56%of the survey participants found that the best 3D experience was on a console with a 3D TV.
The category which I fall into, the “it makes me sick” category, had a large representation in the survey.  37% of the survey takers found that they experienced nausea and dizziness when using a 3D device.
