Research on the Relationship between the Depth-Movement of the Stereoscopic HDTV and Visual Comfort

Article Preview

Abstract:

Visual comfort is an important factor that should be considered in the production of stereoscopic HDTV programs. This paper reports the result of recent researches on the relationship between visual comfort and the depth-movements, and analyses the experimental results in terms of the principle of vergence-accommodation conflict. The analysis result indicates that the depth-movements will cause viewers’ visual discomfort and fatigue, especially when the depth-movement range is large and the speed is fast. The research result is of significance to reach a balance between the realistic stereoscopic visual effects and visual comfort.
