    Creation of a Complete Stereoscopic 3D Workflow for SoFA Allison Hettinger and Ian Krassner 1. Introduction 1.1 3D Trend Stereoscopic 3D motion pictures have recently risen to popularity once again following the success of films such as James Cameron’s Avatar. More and more films are being converted to 3D but few films are being shot in 3D. Current available technology and knowledge of that technology (along with cost) is preventing most films from being shot in 3D. Shooting in 3D is an advantage because two slightly different images are produced that mimic the two images the eyes see in normal vision. Many take the cheaper route of shooting in 2D and converting to 3D. This results in a 3D image, but usually nowhere near the quality as if the film was originally shot in 3D. This is because a computer has to create the second image, which can result in errors. It is also important to note that a 3D image does not necessarily mean a stereo image. 3D can be used to describe images that have an appearance of depth, such as 3D animations. Stereo images refer to images that make use of retinal disparity to create the illusion of objects going out of and into the screen plane. Stereo images are optical illusions that make use of several cues that the brain uses to perceive a scene. Examples of monocular cues are relative size and position, texture gradient, perspective and occlusion. These cues help us determine the relative depth positions of objects in an image. Binocular cues such as retinal disparity and convergence are what give the illusion of depth.

  • Fast-Response Switchable Lens for 3D and Wearable Displays
    Fast-response switchable lens for 3D and wearable displays Yun-Han Lee, Fenglin Peng, and Shin-Tson Wu* CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida, Orlando, Florida 32816, USA *[email protected] Abstract: We report a switchable lens in which a twisted nematic (TN) liquid crystal cell is utilized to control the input polarization. Different polarization state leads to different path length in the proposed optical system, which in turn results in different focal length. This type of switchable lens has advantages in fast response time, low operation voltage, and inherently lower chromatic aberration. Using a pixelated TN panel, we can create depth information to the selected pixels and thus add depth information to a 2D image. By cascading three such device structures together, we can generate 8 different focuses for 3D displays, wearable virtual/augmented reality, and other head mounted display devices. ©2016 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.3720) Liquid-crystal devices; (080.3620) Lens system design.

  • Digital 3DTV
    Digital 3DTV Alexey Polyakov The advent of the digital 3DTV era is a fait accompli. The question is: how is it going to develop in the future? Currently the Standard definition(SD) TV is being changed into High definition(HD) TV. As you know, quantitative changes tend to transform into qualitative ones. Many observers believe that the next quantum leap will be the emergence of 3D TV. They predict that such TV will appear within a decade. In this article I will explain how it is possible to create stereoscopic video systems using commercial devices. Brief historical retrospective The following important stages can be singled out in the history of TV and digital video development: 1—black and white TV – image brightness is transmitted. 2 – colored TV – image brightness and color components are transmitted. From the data volume perspective, adding color is a quantitative change. From the viewer perspective, it is a qualitative change. 3 – digital video emergence (Video CD, DVD) – a qualitative change from the data format perspective. 4 – HD digital video and TV (Blu-Ray, HDTV) – from the data volume perspectiveit is a quantitative change. However, exactly the same components are transmitted: brightness and color. Specialists and viewers have been anticipating for the change that had been predicted by sci-fi writers long ago, - 3D TV emergency. For a long time data volume was a bottleneck preventing stereoscopic video demonstration as the existing media couldn’t transmit it. Digital TV enabled to transmit enough data and became the basis for a number of devices that helped to realize 3D visualization.

  • The Role of Focus Cues in Stereopsis, and the Development of a Novel Volumetric Display
    The role of focus cues in stereopsis, and the development of a novel volumetric display by David Morris Hoffman A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Vision Science in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in charge: Professor Martin S. Banks, Chair Professor Austin Roorda Professor John Canny Spring 2010 1 Abstract The role of focus cues in stereopsis, and the development of a novel volumetric display by David Morris Hoffman Doctor of Philosophy in Vision Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Martin S. Banks, Chair Typical stereoscopic displays produce a vivid impression of depth by presenting each eye with its own image on a flat display screen. This technique produces many depth signals (including disparity) that are consistent with a 3-dimensional (3d) scene; however, by using a flat display panel, focus information will be incorrect. The accommodation distance to the simulated objects will be at the screen distance, and blur will be inconsistent with the simulated depth. In this thesis I will described several studies investigating the importance of focus cues for binocular vision. These studies reveal that there are a number of benefits to presenting correct focus information in a stereoscopic display, such as making it easier to fuse a binocular image, reducing visual fatigue, mitigating disparity scaling errors, and helping to resolve the binocular correspondence problem. For each of these problems, I discuss the theory for how focus cues could be an important factor, and then present psychophysical data showing that indeed focus cues do make a difference.

Richardt5 1Durham University, United Kingdom 2NVIDIA Corporation, United States of America 3University of Cambridge, United Kingdom 4Technical University of Crete, Greece 5University of Bath, United Kingdom Abstract Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) are expected to revolutionise entertainment, healthcare, communication and the manufac- turing industries among many others. Near-eye displays are an enabling vessel for VR/AR applications, which have to tackle many challenges related to ergonomics, comfort, visual quality and natural interaction. These challenges are related to the core elements of these near-eye display hardware and tracking technologies. In this state-of-the-art report, we investigate the background theory of perception and vision as well as the latest advancements in display engineering and tracking technologies. We begin our discussion by describing the basics of light and image formation. Later, we recount principles of visual perception by relating to the human visual system. We provide two structured overviews on state-of-the-art near-eye display and tracking technologies involved in such near-eye displays. We conclude by outlining unresolved research questions to inspire the next generation of researchers. 1.

A presentation of previous research within depth perception and stereoscopic 3D displays is made. Based on results from previous evaluations, a test environment is designed. It is implemented in C++ and OpenGL and a small Interface Library is developed.
