    Wu et al. BMC Ophthalmology (2016) 16:45 DOI 10.1186/s12886-016-0223-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Evaluating stereoacuity with 3D shutter glasses technology Huang Wu1*, Han Jin2, Ying Sun3, Yang Wang1, Min Ge1, Yang Chen1 and Yunfeng Chi1 Abstract Background: To determine the stereoacuity threshold with a 3D laptop equipped with 3D shutter glasses, and to evaluate the effect of different shape and size of test symbols and different type of disparities to stereoacuity. Methods: Thirty subjects with a visual acuity in each eye of at least 0 logMAR and a stereoacuity of at least 32 arcsec (as assessed in Fly Stereo Acuity Test) were recruited. Three target symbols—tumbling "E", tumbling "C", and "□"—were displayed, each with six different sizes representing a visual acuity ranging from 0.5 to 0 logMAR when tested at 4.1 m, and with both crossed and uncrossed disparities. Two test systems were designed - fixed distance of 4.1 m and one for variable distance. The former has disparities ranging from 10 to 1000 arcsec. Each subject completed 36 trials to investigate the effect of different symbol sizes and shapes, and disparity types on stereoacuity. In the variable distance system, each subject was tested 12 times for the same purposes, both proximally and distally (the point where the 3D effect just appears and where it just disappears respectively), and the mean value was calculated from the mean proximal and distal distances. Results: No significant difference was found among the groups in the fixed distance test system (Kruskal-Wallis test; Chi-square = 29.844, P = 0.715).

Nous détaillons ensuite les différentes techniques d’affichage stéréoscopique utilisées à l’heure actuelle, en parcourant la stéréoscopie, l’autostéréoscopie et plus particuliè- rement le principe d’imagerie intégrale. Le deuxième chapitre introduit un nouveau modèle de formation d’image stéréoscopique. Ce dernier nous permet d’observer deux images d’une paire stéréoscopique soumises à des éventuelles transformations et à l’effet d’une ou de plusieurs optiques particulières, pour reproduire la perception de trois dimensions. Nous abordons l’aspect unificateur de ce modèle. En effet il permet de décrire et d’expliquer de nombreuses techniques d’affichage stéréoscopique exis- tantes. Enfin, dans un troisième chapitre nous discutons d’une méthode particulière de création de paires d’images stéréoscopiques à l’aide d’un champ lumineux.

  • 3D Television - Wikipedia
    3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3D television (3DTV) is television that conveys depth perception to the viewer by employing techniques such as stereoscopic display, multi-view display, 2D-plus-depth, or any other form of 3D display. Most modern 3D television sets use an active shutter 3D system or a polarized 3D system, and some are autostereoscopic without the need of glasses. According to DisplaySearch, 3D televisions shipments totaled 41.45 million units in 2012, compared with 24.14 in 2011 and 2.26 in 2010.[1] As of late 2013, the number of 3D TV viewers An example of three-dimensional television. started to decline.[2][3][4][5][6] 1 History 2 Technologies 2.1 Displaying technologies 2.2 Producing technologies 2.3 3D production 3TV sets 3.1 3D-ready TV sets 3.2 Full 3D TV sets 4 Standardization efforts 4.1 DVB 3D-TV standard 5 Broadcasts 5.1 3D Channels 5.2 List of 3D Channels 5.3 3D episodes and shows 5.3.1 1980s 5.3.2 1990s 5.3.3 2000s 5.3.4 2010s 6 World record 7 Health effects 8See also 9 References 10 Further reading The stereoscope was first invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838.[7][8] It showed that when two pictures 1 z 17 21. 11. 2016 22:13 3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television are viewed stereoscopically, they are combined by the brain to produce 3D depth perception.

But the 2009 theatrical release of Avatar, with James Cameron’s strong marketing of the 3D aspect of the feature, was the benchmark event that defined consumer expectations for a 3D experience. Mr. Cameron and company also laid the groundwork for the rapid decent into the trough of disillusionment by telegraphing what consumers should expect before those expectations could be adequately met. At that moment the production, theatrical exhibition, distribution, and consumer electronics technologies infrastructures were still being developed, and content creation was just ramping up. The ETC’s Consumer 3D Experience Lab and Program has ridden the heart of the Hype Cycle; from a few years after digital stereoscopic 3D’s (S3D’s) launch in cinemas through the peak of inflated expectations, down to the trough of disillusionment, and now upward along the slope of enlightenment. We are approaching, but not yet at, the plateau of productivity for 3D.

The use of immersive virtual 3D environments in the area of education and learning is important field of research interest. 3D virtual worlds can be dynamically modified, updated or customized and more operators can cooperate when solving specific task regardless to their physical presence. With respect to the features of immersive human-computer interaction as well as specific cues included in virtual environments it is necessary to consider every aspect of 3D interface in the way how it influence the process of learning. Especially, the social and communicational aspects in Collaborative Virtual Learning Environments (CVLEs) is the state of the art for the current research. Based on our research of interactive geographical 3D environments, we summarize and discuss the relevant theoretical and technological aspects entering into the issue of interaction with 3D virtual environments. The operators' manipulation and evaluation of the displayed content is discussed regarding such phenomena as fidelity, presence/immersion, informational and computational equivalence, situation awareness, cognitive workload or human error. We also describe specific interface developed for recording and measuring the participants’ behavior in virtual spaces. Further we suggest the methodological background for the research of 3D virtual interfaces with respect to virtual collaboration and learning.

Background: The majority of tests to evaluate stereopsis should separate two eyes first. Whether different binocular separating manner may affect the test result of stereopsis is the main purpose of this study. Red- green anaglyphs, polarized light technology, active shutter 3D system, and auto-stereoscopic technique were chosen to evaluate distance stereoacuity. Methods: Red-green anaglyphs test system was established with an ASUS laptop with the aid of TNO Stereotest glasses. Active shutter 3D system was set up with the same ASUS laptop with the aid of NVidia 3D Vision 2 Wireless Glasses Kit. The polarized 3D system adopted the AOC display. A Samsung naked- eye 3D laptop was used to set up an auto-stereoscopic system. Thirty subjects were recruited. Distance stereoacuity was measured with those computer systems. Results: The auto-stereoscopic system was failed to measure distance stereopsis.
