Influence of Decreasing Visual Acuity of One Eye on Perceived Depth Change between Arc 3D Display and Two-View Stereoscopic Display

Abstract

Even when one eye’s visual acuity is decreased for simulating anisometropia, perceived depth degradation of arc 3D display is much less than that of stereoscopic display. In stereoscopic display, perceived depth is quickly degraded when visual acuity is decreased around 0.2 and depth cannot be perceived at visual acuity of 0.1. On the other hand, in arc 3D display, perceived depth has little degradation around visual acuity of 0.1 and depth can be perceived even at visual acuity of 0.01. Thus, the small degradation of perceived depth by decreasing visual acuity in arc 3D display indicates that smooth motion parallax would sustain perceived depth of anisometropia.
