Technology Study on the Different Cognitive Process of Stereopsis between Crossed and Uncrossed Fine Disparity

Abstract:

Considerable improvements in display technology were made in stereoscopic imaging and image quality rose with technical progress. But there was not enough effort on reducing visual fatigue. The study was to investigate one of the ways to reduce visual fatigue caused by three-dimensional images. Static random-dot stereograms (RDS) were used as stimuli. The performance of every subject was recorded with disparate disparities of 3.27', 6.54', 8.18', 11.45', 14.72', 17.99', 21.26', and 24.53'. Results showed that reaction times were always longer in the uncrossed disparities relative to the crossed disparities. For crossed disparities, human visual system was the most sensitive to the images with disparity of 6.54'. As to uncrossed disparities, human visual system was the most sensitive to the images with disparity of 8.18'.
