Added value of a multi-view auto-stereoscopic 3D display in gaming applications

The longer-term use of multi-view 3D displays in gaming applications was investigated with 20 experienced gamers. During two gaming sessions, one in 2D and one in 3D, galvanic skin response and heart rate were measured (both assumed to assess emotions and presence), followed by questionnaires at the end of each session. The results show that 3D displays provoke significantly higher positive emotions and stronger feelings of presence than 2D displays, indicating that 3D displays have added value in gaming applications
