Proposed Research   
 
This proposal tests the hypothesis that 3D movies can screen for binocular vision 
issues in children as well as the eyechart currently screens for acuity vision issues. 
 
Research indicates that 3D media can effectively screen for vision issues in children 
in near‐distance interactions (AOA 2011).  While comparisons between near‐
distance and far‐distance 3D are popular (summary: Shibita 2011), no study has 
been conducted to see if far‐distance 3D can similarly serve as a screening tool. This 
proposal hypothesizes that the far‐distance interactions of a 3D movie will screen 
for binocular vision issues as effectively as near‐distance 3D.  
 
One difficulty in using feature‐length movies as 3D stimuli is that participants may 
feel symptoms during the presentation that go unreported by movie’s end.  Post‐
tests may fail to capture the over‐time interplay between narrative, on‐screen depth, 
and a child’s ocular system.  For example, eye pain that arises from more aggressive 
3D techniques might dissipate by the time post‐exposure tests are administered. 
Negative parallax techniques appear to bring objects into the theater by forcing eyes 
to converge in front of the movie screen – and this taxes our binocular vision. 
 
More contemporary dynamic depth techniques force eyes to continuously converge 
and diverge as the entire volume of the overall frame changes in time with respect 
to an in‐frame object. The eye strain elicited by aggressive mid‐movie techniques 
may be forgotten by movie’s end. More deeply, the inherent narrative structure of 
modern movies may complicate post‐stimulus reporting as well. The Hero’s Journey 
myth‐paradigm underlying most modern American movies has built in moments of 
narrative rest (Vogler 1992). To get a moment‐by‐moment understanding of the 
binocular interaction then, in‐stimulus measures become necessary. 
 
TimeWarner’s unique in‐theater biometric tools, direct dials, and infrared cameras, 
offer an otherwise unattainable understanding of the moment‐by‐moment 
behavioral, psychophysiological, and self‐reported binocular 3D movie experience.  
 
 
Context/Rationale  
 
This study brought together a team of interdisciplinary researchers because we 
believe this study is more about education and public health than it is about movies. 
Public health research promotes community health  “through the organized efforts 
and informed choices of society, organizations, and individuals” (Winslow 1920).  
Vision acuity is already a component of public health but BV‐deficiencies go largely 
unaddressed (Duenas 2011). This seems a particular problem since current 
research links BV‐problems to dyslexia (Atzmon 1985) and ADHD (Rouse 2009).   
 
Up to 25% of school children have undiagnosed vision issues and vision deficiencies 
have been correlated with lower reading scores and lack of educational readiness 
(AOA 2011). Vision deficiencies even led “ultimately to special education 
classification” erroneously in some classrooms (New Jersey Commission Public 
Schools 2006).  The lack of BV awareness can underlie 8%‐15% of these vision 
problems.  
 
The eyechart was made in 1862 and it quickly increased the awareness of acuity 
vision issues. What made the eyechart a particularly effective screener is its 
miniscule cost, and, ease of application. 3D movies have similar benefits that make 
them preferable to purchasing near‐distance 3D tools for schools. Movies reach a 
massive audience and the cost of participation is only five more dollars per ticket.  
Positive results would not only mean 3D movies can screen for BV issues, it can turn 
the massive wave of 3D technologies into a massive platform for BV awareness.  This 
study can impact vision health, reading skills, and educational readiness.  
 
We further note that the experimental set‐up used to capture the in‐theater 
experience of binocularly deficient viewers simultaneously captures a deep look at 
the movie‐going experience of non‐BV‐deficient viewers (via control group). Since 
we must already code the stimulus for Hero’s Journey moments, we will make 
hypotheses about physiological changes we expect to see at narrative moments. 
 
Process / Methodology 
 
The core experimental set‐up is a standard Vision Type 2 between subjects design. 
Approximately 130 children, 8‐16 years old, with unknown binocular vision status 
receive a comprehensive vision exam in New York (through already obtained 
optometric partners). One group (n=82) will watch the movie without dynamic 
measures. Four groups will rate their experience using direct response dials (n=24) 
to continuously rate (1) dizziness, (2) eye pain (3) blurriness and/or (4) strain over 
the entire message. These ratings are time‐locked to movie exposure allowing a 
dynamic analysis of when these symptoms develop. To more deeply understand the 
over‐time data, the movie will be coded and time‐locked for moments of dynamic 
depth, high convergence, high divergence, narrative rest, and high visual activity. 
Psychophysiological responses will be gathered from the fifth group (n=24), also 
time‐locked to stimulus exposure. Biometric data will be collected in accordance 
with guidelines from the Society for Psychophysiological Research (Jennings 1981, 
Fowles 1981). After the movie is over, the standard questionnaire that currently 
screens for BV problems is administered.  
 
Our primary outcome will be a comparative analysis of the vision exams, the current 
BV‐screening questionnaire, and, the in‐situ collection of self‐reported data, 
biometric data, and camera captured behaviors.  
 
Since we already code for how narrative moments impact the BV‐experience, we 
will also see if psychophysiological ‘signatures’ predicted by the Hero’s Journey 
story‐structure arise in the data.  This is what is meant when we say the Hero’s 
Journey underlies modern movies (Moyers 1991). It’s a pre‐cultural psychological 
abstraction (Campbell 1949). We hypothesize seeing specific changes in multiple 
psychophysiological factors at each of the seventeen steps the HJ myth‐paradigm. 
Therefore this otherwise “yes or no” study on far‐distance vision screening 
efficiently serves “double duty” as a pilot test for extended feature film research as 
well.

Applicant Backgrounds 
 
We believe we have built a top‐tier team with the unique but required expertise to 
come together and deeply study the ability of 3D movies to potentially screen for 
binocular vision issues.  
 
Distinguished Professor Annie Lang led the development of the widely used limited 
capacity model of motivated mediated message processing (LC4MP) in 
psychophysiological research. Her research seeks to understand the interplay 
among parts of the dynamic system comprised of the embodied mind and the 
mediated message.

Dr. Don Lyon is the Chief of Pediatrics and Binocular Vision Services at the School of 
Optometry. His research focuses on the apparent link between binocular vision 
issues, ADHD and dyslexia.  He also focuses on the most severe binocular vision 
issue, amblyopia (“lazy eye”), in infants and children.  
http://www.opt.indiana.edu/Research/Lyon.aspx 
 
Rachel Bailey is a PhD candidate with expertise in the dynamic interactions between 
humans and media. She focuses on the impact of branded and symbolic language as 
well as the psychophysiological patterns of experiential states elicited by media, like 
presence, transportation, and flow, and is a former biometric researcher for Disney.

Can 3D Movies Screen for Binocular Vision Problems in Children - Indiana

  • 1. Time Warner Medialab  Proposal in Support of Media Research by University Faculty and Students  Overview        Institution:  Indiana University, Bloomington  Contact name:  Sean Connolly  Contact email:  seaconno@indiana.edu  Summary of  proposed inquiry:  This proposal asks if Hollywood’s new 3D movies can  passively screen for binocular vision problems in children.    Key deliverables:  Internal Time Warner report, American Optometric  Association (AOA) report for public health, Conference Papers  (multiple), Journal Publication (vision sciences)  Total cost:  $45,260    Proposed Research      This proposal tests the hypothesis that 3D movies can screen for binocular vision  issues in children as well as the eyechart currently screens for acuity vision issues.    Research indicates that 3D media can effectively screen for vision issues in children  in near‐distance interactions (AOA 2011).  While comparisons between near‐ distance and far‐distance 3D are popular (summary: Shibita 2011), no study has  been conducted to see if far‐distance 3D can similarly serve as a screening tool. This  proposal hypothesizes that the far‐distance interactions of a 3D movie will screen  for binocular vision issues as effectively as near‐distance 3D.     One difficulty in using feature‐length movies as 3D stimuli is that participants may  feel symptoms during the presentation that go unreported by movie’s end.  Post‐ tests may fail to capture the over‐time interplay between narrative, on‐screen depth,  and a child’s ocular system.  For example, eye pain that arises from more aggressive  3D techniques might dissipate by the time post‐exposure tests are administered.  Negative parallax techniques appear to bring objects into the theater by forcing eyes  to converge in front of the movie screen – and this taxes our binocular vision.    More contemporary dynamic depth techniques force eyes to continuously converge  and diverge as the entire volume of the overall frame changes in time with respect  to an in‐frame object. The eye strain elicited by aggressive mid‐movie techniques  may be forgotten by movie’s end. More deeply, the inherent narrative structure of  modern movies may complicate post‐stimulus reporting as well. The Hero’s Journey  myth‐paradigm underlying most modern American movies has built in moments of  narrative rest (Vogler 1992). To get a moment‐by‐moment understanding of the  binocular interaction then, in‐stimulus measures become necessary.

TimeWarner’s unique in‐theater biometric tools, direct dials, and infrared cameras,  offer an otherwise unattainable understanding of the moment‐by‐moment  behavioral, psychophysiological, and self‐reported binocular 3D movie experience.       Context/Rationale     This study brought together a team of interdisciplinary researchers because we  believe this study is more about education and public health than it is about movies.  Public health research promotes community health  “through the organized efforts  and informed choices of society, organizations, and individuals” (Winslow 1920).   Vision acuity is already a component of public health but BV‐deficiencies go largely  unaddressed (Duenas 2011). This seems a particular problem since current  research links BV‐problems to dyslexia (Atzmon 1985) and ADHD (Rouse 2009).      Up to 25% of school children have undiagnosed vision issues and vision deficiencies  have been correlated with lower reading scores and lack of educational readiness  (AOA 2011). Vision deficiencies even led “ultimately to special education  classification” erroneously in some classrooms (New Jersey Commission Public  Schools 2006).  The lack of BV awareness can underlie 8%‐15% of these vision  problems.     The eyechart was made in 1862 and it quickly increased the awareness of acuity  vision issues. What made the eyechart a particularly effective screener is its  miniscule cost, and, ease of application. 3D movies have similar benefits that make  them preferable to purchasing near‐distance 3D tools for schools. Movies reach a  massive audience and the cost of participation is only five more dollars per ticket.   Positive results would not only mean 3D movies can screen for BV issues, it can turn  the massive wave of 3D technologies into a massive platform for BV awareness.  This  study can impact vision health, reading skills, and educational readiness.     We further note that the experimental set‐up used to capture the in‐theater  experience of binocularly deficient viewers simultaneously captures a deep look at  the movie‐going experience of non‐BV‐deficient viewers (via control group). Since  we must already code the stimulus for Hero’s Journey moments, we will make  hypotheses about physiological changes we expect to see at narrative moments.    Process / Methodology    The core experimental set‐up is a standard Vision Type 2 between subjects design.  Approximately 130 children, 8‐16 years old, with unknown binocular vision status  receive a comprehensive vision exam in New York (through already obtained  optometric partners). One group (n=82) will watch the movie without dynamic  measures. Four groups will rate their experience using direct response dials (n=24)  to continuously rate (1) dizziness, (2) eye pain (3) blurriness and/or (4) strain over  the entire message. These ratings are time‐locked to movie exposure allowing a 
  • 3. dynamic analysis of when these symptoms develop. To more deeply understand the  over‐time data, the movie will be coded and time‐locked for moments of dynamic  depth, high convergence, high divergence, narrative rest, and high visual activity.  Psychophysiological responses will be gathered from the fifth group (n=24), also  time‐locked to stimulus exposure. Biometric data will be collected in accordance  with guidelines from the Society for Psychophysiological Research (Jennings 1981,  Fowles 1981). After the movie is over, the standard questionnaire that currently  screens for BV problems is administered.     Our primary outcome will be a comparative analysis of the vision exams, the current  BV‐screening questionnaire, and, the in‐situ collection of self‐reported data,  biometric data, and camera captured behaviors.     Since we already code for how narrative moments impact the BV‐experience, we  will also see if psychophysiological ‘signatures’ predicted by the Hero’s Journey  story‐structure arise in the data.  This is what is meant when we say the Hero’s  Journey underlies modern movies (Moyers 1991). It’s a pre‐cultural psychological  abstraction (Campbell 1949). We hypothesize seeing specific changes in multiple  psychophysiological factors at each of the seventeen steps the HJ myth‐paradigm.  Therefore this otherwise “yes or no” study on far‐distance vision screening  efficiently serves “double duty” as a pilot test for extended feature film research as  well.      Deliverables     Deliverable  Anticipated Length  Distribution  1. Executive summary and  internal report  Approximately 30 pages  (15 pages for each)  Internal to Time Warner  2. Report for American  Optometric Association  Similar as above but with  any proprietary  information to Time  Warner removed  The American Optometric  Association  3. Conference paper and  presentation  Approximately 20‐25  pages    International conference  in communication and/or  psychology   Potentially:   1. Society for  Psychophysiological  Research (membership:  800 members worldwide)  2. International  Communication  Association (membership:  3500 worldwide)
