Can adults play, or is it only for children?
AmblyoGames is made for both children and adults. The games, settings, and difficulty levels are the same at any age, and you can adjust speed and game size to a comfortable level.
Can I use standard 3D glasses from a cinema?
No. Cinema 3D glasses use circular polarization filters that only work with specialized cinema projection screens. Our games require anaglyph color-filter glasses (Red on one eye, Cyan or Blue on the other). Standard, inexpensive paper or plastic Red-Cyan glasses work reliably on any computer monitor.
What makes these games different from regular games?
In regular games both eyes see the same picture. Here, each eye sees its own part of the game through the color filters, so you need both eyes to play.
How often and how long should I play?
We recommend daily sessions of 15 to 25 minutes. Avoid marathon sessions: short, regular sessions are more comfortable and help you avoid eye fatigue.
Can I wear my prescription glasses or contact lenses while playing?
Yes. Keep your usual glasses or contact lenses on and put the anaglyph glasses over them.
What if I still faintly see the other eye's shapes during color calibration?
Because monitor panels and anaglyph lens dyes vary, seeing a faint silhouette («ghosting») on a dark background is completely normal. Your goal in the «Adjust Colors» calibration screen is not necessarily 100% invisibility, but lowering the brightness slider enough that the secondary image is much dimmer than your main shapes – so each eye mainly sees its own shapes. Also make sure to disable warm screen filters such as Night Light, True Tone, or f.lux while playing, as they distort red-cyan color separation.
Does it matter which eye has the red or cyan lens?
No, the physical side of the red and cyan (or blue) lenses does not matter as long as your in-app settings match your glasses. On the game setup screen or in «Adjust Colors», simply select which lens color is over your left and right eye, and specify which eye is your lazy (weaker) eye. The game automatically routes the primary active targets to your weaker eye.
Why are the games desktop-only, and how far should I sit from the monitor?
Smartphone screens are too small to comfortably show a separate image to each eye and often apply automatic color tone adjustments that break anaglyph filtering. Sit comfortably at arm's length (about 50–70 cm or 20–28 inches) straight in front of your computer monitor. If tracking objects across the entire screen feels tiring at first, use the «Game Size» slider during gameplay to make the active playing field smaller.
Is it safe to play?
Take breaks and never play through eye strain, headaches, or dizziness – stop immediately and rest if discomfort occurs. If you have an eye condition, double vision, or have had eye surgery, consult your ophthalmologist or optometrist before playing.
