Employing the super multi-view (SMV) stereoscopic display, we measured vergence and accommodation in the old stereoscopic conditions and under SMV conditions. The stimuli were a vertical line and a radial pattern with the upper and lower parts presented at different distances from the observer: 1.75 and 2.13 diopters, respectively. In general, measurement of accommodative states was difficult because of disturbances of the measured light by eyelashes or hyperopia, in two of the three subjects. However, an appropriate convergence corresponding to distance was caused by all conditions. Moreover, the accommodation distance was not constant under the old stereoscopic conditions although the distance always corresponded to vergence under SMV conditions. These results suggest that accommodative stability of the eye was induced by super multi-view stereoscopic images.
