Hollywood studios for a long time trying to convince us that the 3D-glasses improve the perception of the film. However, a new study found that buying 3D-TV - it's a waste of money. Movies in 3D and 2D provide us almost the same emotional effect .
Manufacturers of film production using 3D assure that viewers get a more vivid and lively picture compared to 2D. They attribute this to the higher approximations technology to real life. Researchers from the University of Utah decided to check out how this is true.
We decided to find out whether or not the 3D enhances the emotional impact, especially among young people, who need to feel the impact of high-tech - says study author Sheila Crowell.
The study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, gave reason to believe that in the context of entertainment formats of 2D and 3D cause the same emotions in the viewer. Brief description of the newspaper Daily Mail.
This may be good news for those who would not want to overpay for the movie with the glasses, - says the researcher.
The aim of the study was to verify the advantage of 3D-films on 2D, which is widely used as a research tool. With their help, experiments are being conducted in the field of psychology and neuroscience. This method is less invasive and is particularly effective in the study of emotion young people.
Scientists recorded parameters that are commonly used to assess emotional reactions person sweating on the hands, breathing and cardiovascular activity. Subjects were allowed to watch the 5-minute excerpts of four films in different formats. Were selected for study such films as "My Bloody Valentine" (score of fear), "Tangled" (sadness), "Despicable Me" (fun) and "The Polar Express" (excitement).
Participants in the study were distributed so as to balance the order in which the episodes and format. Complex configurations allowed to compare not only emotional reactions but also other consequences viewing. In general, scientists have not found a significant difference between the reactions of the films.
The only difference that has been seen - this is the amount of sweat when viewing 3D-scenes of the "Polar Express." However, the researchers explain this high quality film and plentiful special effects.
