Abstract
Presentation technology of three-dimensional（3D）images has made rapid progress due to technological innovation. Japan already established the guidelines for 3D contents. However, the unified and quantitative evaluation method has yet to be determined due to considerable inter-individual variability in binocular stereoscopic vision of viewers and necessity to define the threshold appropriate for simple and general purpose evaluation of binocular stereopsis.Consequently, 3D image presentation gave priority to safety and was designed to reduce binocular stereopsis power to avoid overloading of stereopsis power and presentation duration. This may make 3D viewing transient phenomenon due to short-lived satisfaction and emotions of viewers who feel discomfort with pseudo images. The use application of 3D contents such as entertaining contents and traffic simulator of practical contents is growing and widespread. This paper proposes the criteria of“complex elements for binocular stereoscopic power”to comprehensively judge the measurement and evaluation of different binocular stereoscopic vision of different viewers and demonstrates experimentally a possibility of “stratification”by determining the level of binocular stereoscopic vision based on complex elements for stereoscopic power.The result of the experiment shows that the level of individual binocular stereoscopic vision can be systematically understood as tolerance level or threshold value and that simple and quantitative evaluation and/or judgment of acquisition capability may be possible by determining the level of intensity and tolerance for 3D viewing.
