— The experience of various people related to a real 3-D cinema visit has been studied, and the results will be discussed. This study has two distinct parts, which includes the comfort of the viewers and their sense of presence. Eighty-four viewers filled out questionnaires about comfort and visual strain. Forty-one subjects described their presence experience during the movie presentation. A majority of the people felt comfortable after the movie viewing; they experienced only mild-eyestrain-related symptoms. People evaluated the movie world as highly realistic, but they did not feel that they were actors in the virtual-movie world. Most of the participants would recommend 3-D cinema to friends because it was a very entertaining experience.
