Effect of Viewpoints on the Accommodation Response in Integral Imaging 3D Display

Abstract

Integral imaging three-dimensional (3D) display provides quasi-continuous viewpoints within a certain viewing angle. A single human eye can obtain several parallax images corresponding to the viewpoints. In this paper, we studied the effect of viewpoints received by a single human eye on the accommodation response when viewing the 3D image reconstructed by integral imaging 3D display. We analyzed the viewpoints distribution of an integral imaging 3D display and the correspondence relationship between the viewpoints and pixels information in elemental image array. In the experiment, the accommodation responses of human eyes when viewing the 3D image with different viewpoint quantities and dimensions are measured. The statistical results reveal that the more viewpoints received by a single human eye, the closer the accommodation response of the 3D image is to that of the real target. This tendency is obvious when the viewpoint quantity reduces from 10 × 10 to 6 × 6. For situations of 2 × 2 and 1 × 1 viewpoint, the accommodation response is unstable and different from the real target. When considering the viewpoint dimensions, two-dimensional viewpoints can provide a more natural accommodation response than one-dimensional viewpoints do. For the one-dimensional viewpoint situation, the horizontal arranged viewpoints and vertical arranged viewpoints have no statistical discrepancy.

Crosstalk Reduction in Voxels for a See-Through Holographic Waveguide by Using Integral Imaging with Compensated Elemental Images

“…The InIm technique provides the correct depth cues, including the accommodation response for the human eye, as reported in Refs. [21,22]. For the subjects in these studies, 3D objects generated from the InIm system induced the correct accommodation response, which was similar to that of real objects with the same distance.…”

High-resolution light field prints by nanoscale 3D printing

“…5 : where δ is the angle between two sampled light rays that enter the eye, E is the pupil diameter of the eye, and V is the viewing distance from the eye to the 3D image. If this condition is satisfied ( ω a ≤ δ and ω b ≤ δ ), the eyes will perceive the smoothest motion parallax and resolve the accommodation-vergence conflict 38 – 40 (i.e. the experience of visual discomfort when the eyes focus on a different point from where they converge).…”

End-to-End Optimization of an Achromatic Diffractive Optical Element Array for Integral Imaging Three-Dimensional Display

“…ECENTLY, integral imaging 3D displays have drawn much interest owing to the characteristic of reconstructing full-parallax, full-color, and real-time 3D images without coherent light [1][2][3][4]. Integral imaging is first proposed in 1908 by Lippmann, typically, the display system includes a two-dimensional (2D) display panel and lens array.…”
