The increased visual realism of 3D films is believed to offer viewers a more vivid and lifelike experience – more thrilling and intense than 2D because it more closely
approximates real life.
However, psychology researchers at the University of Utah,among those who use film clips routinely in the lab to study patients’ emotional conditions, have found that there is no significant difference between the two
formats.
The study aimed to validate the effectiveness of 3D film, a newer technology, as compared to 2D film that is currently widely used as a research tool. Film clips
are used in psychological and neuroscience studies as a standardised method for assessing emotional development. Because it
is less invasive than other methods, it is especially useful when studying the emotional responses of young people for
whom emotional wellbeing is critical to healthy development.
Author Sheila Crowell, assistant professor of psychology at the University, says that results of the large and tightly controlled
study also suggest that as an entertainment medium, 3D may not provide a different experience from 2D, insofar as evoking
emotional responses go.
