“…The benefit of using 3D for visualizing (complex) content has been demonstrated in many domains such as in medicine [14] or graph visualization [1]. The use of 3D displays in the automotive domain has been investigated by Broy et al [2], who identified benefits regarding attractiveness when visualizing an in-vehicle information system's menu structure on a 3D display, compared to 2D displays.…”

ABSTRACT3D displays are hitting the mass market. They are integrated in consumer TVs, notebooks, and mobile phones and are mainly used for virtual reality as well as video content. We see large potential in using depth also for structuring information. Our specific use case is 3D displays integrated in cars. The capabilities of such displays could be used to present relevant information to the driver in a fast and easy-to-understand way, e.g., by functionality-based clustering. However, excessive parallaxes can cause discomfort and in turn negatively influence the primary driving task. This requires a reasonable choice of parallax boundaries. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we identify the comfort zone when perceiving 3D content. Second, we determine a minimum depth distance between objects that still enables users to quickly and accurately separate the two depth planes. The results yield that in terms of task completion time the optimum distance from screen level is up to 35.9 arc-min angular disparity behind the screen plane. A distance of at least 2.7 arc-min difference in angular disparity between the objects significantly decreases time for layer separation. Based on the results we derive design implications.

“…This impaired depth perception issue is overcome in the central field of view (FOV) by stereopsis, such as within daVinci® surgical robot series. [30][31][32] But the rigid laparoscopes on commercial daVinci® systems are restrictive to straight lines of sight and relatively large surgical fields. Another disadvantage of endoscopic surgery is the inability of providing the surgeon with an overview of the entire surgical field in threedimensions (3-D) due to the limited FOV of the endoscope.…”

Abstract. Brain tumor margin removal is challenging because diseased tissue is often visually indistinguishable from healthy tissue. Leaving residual tumor leads to decreased survival, and removing normal tissue causes lifelong neurological deficits. Thus, a surgical robotics system with a high degree of dexterity, accurate navigation, and highly precise resection is an ideal candidate for image-guided removal of fluorescently labeled brain tumor cells. To image, we developed a scanning fiber endoscope (SFE) which acquires concurrent reflectance and fluorescence wide-field images at a high resolution. This miniature flexible endoscope was affixed to the arm of a RAVEN II surgical robot providing programmable motion with feedback control using stereo-pair surveillance cameras. To verify the accuracy of the three-dimensional (3-D) reconstructed surgical field, a multimodal physical-sized model of debulked brain tumor was used to obtain the 3-D locations of residual tumor for robotic path planning to remove fluorescent cells. Such reconstruction is repeated intraoperatively during margin clean-up so the algorithm efficiency and accuracy are important to the robotically assisted surgery. Experimental results indicate that the time for creating this 3-D surface can be reduced to one-third by using known trajectories of a robot arm, and the error from the reconstructed phantom is within 0.67 mm in average compared to the model design.

“…Then, the brain merges those two images into a single 3D perspective. Stereoscopic technique has been widely used for simulating data, exploring and manipulating information using the three-dimensional graphics in diverse fields such as medical training [27], scientific visualization [17], education [12], movies and so on, aiding viewers understanding of spatial relationship [16]. As spatial display techniques, holographic display and volumetric display are 3D visualization techniques that form the representation of an image in three physical dimensions rather than 2D screen [14,6].…”

While the 3D graphics technique has found its place for the scientific visualization, especially for medical and biological applications, it has long been speculated that the 3D may not be so much effective as far as the conventional information visualization is concerned. We agree upon this view that the naive extension of the 2D visual forms to 3D is not a way to go. Instead, the computergenerated 3D virtual world will serve best when the virtual world is seamlessly integrated with the real 3D space. For an example, a physical automobile model surrounded with various kinds of virtual visual forms such as texts, images, sounds and 3D models will offer the user (or the audience) another level of appreciation and experience on the subject being presented. In this paper, we present our on-going developmental efforts toward the above framework which calls for the tight integration of the 3D visual forms and the 3D real space. The Spatial AR Hologram (SPAROGRAM) is capable of manifesting augmented three-dimensional information by making full use of the real 3D space that encompasses the surroundings of the real object comprehensively and simultaneously. To accomplish this, a multiple layer of stereoscopic images was implemented. Stereoscopic images enable spatial visualization using the physical and virtual third dimension. Furthermore, ensuring the continuity of the spatial experience, we made the use of spatial exploration with user interaction in real-time. We describe the whole process of system design and prototyping. Our initial investigation suggests that the newly conceived holographic display produce not only continuous 3D space perception, but also the better spatial awareness and realism. Furthermore, it is a promising way to present information in three-dimensional display and help the users understand information effectively and efficiently.
