Perhaps we were wrong about 3D films after all

We've talked a lot of smack about 3D films in the past, but did we speak too soon? A new set of research suggests that watching films in 3D can help improve your cognitive abilities in the same way that brain-training games do.

Over at Goldsmiths University, researchers found that people watching 3D films had improved brain skills compared to those watching 2D video.

Participants took a test to record their memory function, reaction times and cognitive functions before and after watching a section of Big Hero 6 either in 2D or 3D. Reaction times in the 3D set were up 11%, while cognitive processing was also up 23%.

So if you have exams coming up, dig out those 3D glasses, put Avatar on and tell your dad it's revision. But don't come crying to us when you fail.
