Measuring Visual Discomfort associated with 3D

In this paper we focus on our recent research with respect to visual discomfort of stereoscopic displays. Our results suggest that 1) visual comfort of stereoscopic scenes can be modeled as a combined effect of screen disparity range with to a lesser extent screen disparity offset, changing screen disparity and lateral motion of which the specific contributions depend on content activity in the scene, 2) a combination of fusion range measurements and self-report is appropriate for evaluating visual fatigue of stereoscopic stills, and 3) a simple measurement tool, i.e., the ratio in reading performance between 2D and 3D, is appropriate to differentiate people in terms of susceptibility to visual fatigue associated to 3D displays. 1
