Simple and Practical Dual Rendering for Reducing Eye Fatigue from Vergence-Accomodation Conflict in Stereoscopic Viewing
Article No.: 75, Pages 1 - 2
Abstract
Eye fatigue and unpleasant symptoms caused by the vergence and accommodation conflict with stereoscopic rendering pose a substantial usability issue in virtual reality. To address this problem, dual rendering of the stereoscopic imagery is proposed, aimed to alleviate such stress on the user. First, the scene is divided into two regions: the front proximal zone and the rest behind it. The back layer is rendered first for objects in the rest, with the conventional stereoscopic viewing parameter values. Then, remaining objects in the proximal zone are rendered using viewing parameters adjusted to reduce the VAC. The validation experiment confirmed that the proposed approach significantly reduced the overall eye fatigue without compromising the user’s depth perception ability to manipulate objects in the parameters-altered proximal zone.

Real-time adaptive blur for reducing eye strain in stereoscopic displays
Stereoscopic devices are widely used (immersion-based working environments, stereoscopically-viewed movies, auto-stereoscopic screens). In some instances, exposure to stereoscopic immersion techniques can be lengthy, and so eye strain sets in. We ...
Measuring vergence over stereoscopic video with a remote eye tracker
ETRA '10: Proceedings of the 2010 Symposium on Eye-Tracking Research & ApplicationsA remote eye tracker is used to explore its utility for ocular vergence measurement. Subsequently, vergence measurements are compared in response to anaglyphic stereographic stimuli as well as in response to monoscopic stimulus presentation on a ...
