User Issues in Stereoscopic 3D Displays

One week from today, Dr. Martin Banks of the Visual Space Perception Laboratory of UC Berkeley will be hosting a free webinary on user issues in 3D Displays.  He’s got a wide range of issues to discuss that are relevant to everyone from 3d production to human vision experts.

• A variety of user issues.
• The temporal protocols used in stereo 3D and how they affect perceived flicker, motion artifacts, and depth distortions
• Head roll, vertical eye movements, and visual discomfort
• Visual-vestibular conflict and nausea
• Vergence-accommodation conflict
• Vergence: the inward or outward turning movement of the eyes in convergence or divergence;
• Accommodation: the focusing of the eyes to make the image on the retinas sharp.
• Vergence and accommodation in natural viewing; coupling
• Vergence and accommodation in stereo displays
• Optometric measures of discomfort
• Evidence that vergence-accommodation conflict with stereo displays causes discomfort: blurry vision, tired eyes, and headache
• The effect of viewing distance
• The effect of the direction of the conflict (content in front of the screen or behind?)
• Maintaining comfort in different viewing situations
• Relating these findings to current practice
