Comparison of Eye Movements among Ages while Viewing 3D Video Clips

Abstract

It is thought that the control system for stereoscopic vision differs between young and elderly individuals. In this study, the authors focused on the differences in eye movements among ages while viewing 3D video clips. The results showed that for the young, eye movements were significantly higher while tracking a visual target than during peripheral viewing of a 3D video clip. However, no significant difference was observed among the elderly. It was suggested that the amplitude of the fixation eye movement increased in the elderly because the visual processing ability in the peripheral vision declined with advancing age.
