I might agree, but for a different reason. First of all, I don't experience nausea watching 3D content. Nor do I experience nausea while scuba diving, flying an airplane, or jumping out of a perfectly good one. What I do find is that 3D imparts a level of realism that may well trigger motion sickness for an individual who is already predisposed to that sort of thing. Actually, I think that is good - the ability to to realistically convey that sense of space and movement of flight. My favorite scenes in Avatar are when Jake and Neytiri are flying their Ikran. As a sense junkie, watching that in IMAX 3D imparts that feeling of freedom one gets when flying in a small airplane or parasail. Gimme more!

Similarly, I don't experience visual fatigue watching in a completely darkened room. When viewing movies on the DLP, we turn out all the lights including those behind the screen in the adjacent kitchen. I am unable to make out the shape of the screen vs. the surrounding walls. If anything, I find peripheral light sources distracting.
