“…Most researchers and engineers have assumed that the symptoms are caused by differences between the stimuli to vergence and accommodation because such differences require the viewer to uncouple vergence and accommodation (Emoto et al, 2005; Häkkinen et al, 2006; Howarth & Costello, 1997; Lambooij et al, 2009; Menozzi, 2000; Ukai, 2007; Wann & Mon-Williams, 2002; Yano et al, 2004). The evidence offered in support of this hypothesis is that viewers report more discomfort and fatigue when viewing stereo displays than when viewing conventional non-stereo displays (Emoto et al, 2005; Häkkinen et al, 2006; Jin, Zhang, Wang, & Plocher, 2007; Yamazaki, Kamijo, & Fukuzumi, 1990; Yano et al, 2002). This observation, however, does not prove that vergence–accommodation conflicts cause the symptoms because there are several other important differences between viewing non-stereo and stereo displays; these include the eyewear required with stereo displays to separate the two eyes’ images, ghosting or crosstalk from one eye’s image to the other’s image, misalignment of the images presented to the two eyes (Kooi & Toet, 2004), and the perceptual distortions that occur with stereo displays (Bereby-Meyer, Leiser, & Meyer, 1999) and not with non-stereo displays (Vishwanath, Girshick, & Banks, 2005).…”

Recent increased usage of stereo displays has been accompanied by public concern about potential adverse effects associated with prolonged viewing of stereo imagery. There are numerous potential sources of adverse effects, but we focused on how vergence–accommodation conflicts in stereo displays affect visual discomfort and fatigue. In one experiment, we examined the effect of viewing distance on discomfort and fatigue. We found that conflicts of a given dioptric value were slightly less comfortable at far than at near distance. In a second experiment, we examined the effect of the sign of the vergence–accommodation conflict on discomfort and fatigue. We found that negative conflicts (stereo content behind the screen) are less comfortable at far distances and that positive conflicts (content in front of screen) are less comfortable at near distances. In a third experiment, we measured phoria and the zone of clear single binocular vision, which are clinical measurements commonly associated with correcting refractive error. Those measurements predicted susceptibility to discomfort in the first two experiments. We discuss the relevance of these findings for a wide variety of situations including the viewing of mobile devices, desktop displays, television, and cinema.

“…Therefore, in this experiment we resorted to using conventional displays for visualization. However, it is still worth noting that 3D displays are only designed to hypothetically improve depth perception [14], not to enable it. In fact, depth perception is achieved by a variety of visual cues (such as shading, texture gradient, linear perspective, motion parallax, occlusion, etc.)…”

This paper presents a psychophysical study that measures the perceptual thresholds of a new factor called Color-plusDepth Level-of-Detail peculiar to polygon-based 3D teleimmersive video. The results demonstrate the existence of Just Noticeable Degradation and Just Unacceptable Degradation thresholds on the factor. In light of the results, we describe the design and implementation of a real-time perception-based quality adaptor for 3D tele-immersive video. Our experimental results show that the adaptation scheme can reduce resource usage while considerably enhancing the overall perceived visual quality.

“…Price and Lee [34] have shown that performance in spatial cognitive tasks for students improves with stereoscopic imagery. Also, Jin et al [19] found that stereo-3D provided an advantage when presenting complex structures and spatial relationships. A study involving volumetric displays by Grossman and Balakrishnan [13] showed that volumetric displays (i.e.…”

Abstract. Stereoscopic displays and volumetric 3D displays capable of delivering 3D views have in use for many years. These standalone displays have been investigated in detail for their impact on users' viewing experiences. Effects like aesthenopia and nausea are well-known for flat-screen based stereoscopic displays. However, these devices have not been tested in the context of multidisplay environments (MDEs). The performance cost of repetitive switching between a 3D (stereo or volumetric) display and a standard 2D display are not known. In this paper, we perform a thorough user study where we investigate the effects of using such 3D displays within the context of a MDE. We report on our findings and discuss the implications of the same on designs involving such hybrid setups. Our experiments show that in the condition involving two 2D displays which allow for motion parallax and perspective correction, the participants performed the task the fastest.
