3D Video Games

Stereoscopic three-dimensional (S3D) technology has become famous in the entertainment market, especially in games. The contents of the games mostly contain fighting and violent scenes. However, it is not clear how the 3D-based violent games influence neuronal activity. This chapter uses two-dimensional (2D) and 3D games as stimuli to study two things: (1) the differences in brain activity for each of the gaming modes (2D and 3D) that result in different experiences for the subject; and (2) the effect of violent games on subjects’ brain activity. Hence the experiment discussed in this chapter addresses two different questions.
