We demonstrate a method (15a-15h) that provides those with eyeglasses a 3D experience while viewers without eyeglasses see a 2D image without artifacts (Fig. 1, image lb). In addition to separate Left ("L") and Right ("R") images in each frame, we add a X third image ("N"), invisible to those with glasses. In the com bined view seen by those without glasses, this cancels the Right image, leaving only the Left. If the Left and Right im ages are of equal brightness, this approach results in low contrast to viewers without glasses. Allowing differential brightness between the Left and Right images improves 2D contrast. We determine that viewers with glasses maintain a strong 3D experience, even when one eye is significantly darker than the other. FIG. 15 w o 2013/158322 Al 111 111 II II I Hill 1 I ll l l III I II III II I II Published: SIMULTANEOUS 2D AND 3D IMAGES ON A DISPLAY CROSS REFERENCE [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/635075, filed on April 18, 2012, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to three-dimensional television (3DTV) technology, and more particularly to a method and system that provide viewers with 3D glasses a 3D experience while viewers without glasses see a 2D image without artifacts such as ghosting. Our approach is applicable to displays using either active-shutter glasses or passive glasses. BACKGROUND [0003] With a 3DTV, depth perception is conveyed 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. [0004] There are several techniques to produce and display 3D moving pictures. A basic requirement for display technologies is to display offset images that are filtered separately to the left and right eye. Two approached have been used to accomplish this: (1) have the viewer wear 3D eyeglasses to filter the separately offset images to each eye, or (2) have the light source split the images directionally into the viewer's eyes, with no 3D glasses required. [0005] As explained in the detailed description below, many 3D displays show 3D images to viewers wearing the special 3D eyeglasses, but show an incomprehensible double image (called "ghosting") to viewers without glasses. A goal of the present invention is to devise a method and system for providing viewers with glasses a 3D experience while also providing viewers without glasses a 2D image without artifacts. SUMMARY [0006] Many 3D displays show 3D images to viewers wearing special eyeglasses, while showing an incomprehensible double image to viewers without glasses. We demonstrate a method that provides those with eyeglasses a 3D experience while viewers without glasses see a 2D image without artifacts. In addition to separate Left and Right images in each frame, we add a third image, invisible to those with glasses. In the combined view seen by those without glasses, this cancels the Right image, leaving only the Left. If the Left and Right images are of equal brightness, this approach results in low contrast to viewers without glasses. Allowing differential brightness between the Left and Right images improves 2D contrast. We determine that viewers with glasses maintain a strong 3D experience, even when one eye is significantly darker than the other. Since viewers with glasses see a darker image in one eye, they experience a small distortion of perceived depths due to the Pulfrich Effect. This produces illusions similar to those caused by a time delay in one eye. We find that a 40% brightness difference cancels an opposing distortion caused by the typical 8 millisecond delay between the Left and Right images of sequential active-shutter stereoscopic displays. Our technique is applicable to displays using either active-shutter glasses or passive glasses. [0007] Other aspects of the inventive method and system are described below. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0008] Figure 1, part (a), depicts how a typical glasses-based 3DTV shows a different image to each eye of viewers wearing stereo glasses. Part (b) depicts how an inventive 3D+ 2DTV shows a different image to each eye of viewers wearing stereo glasses, but shows only one of these images to those without glasses, removing the "ghosted" double- image. Part (c) illustrates that this is accomplished by cancelling out one image of the stereo pair. [0009] Figure 2 depicts a comparison of various displays that show a sequence of frames. [0010] Figure 3 illustrates how different amounts of wasted light result from different frame lengths for the L, R and inverse R frames. [0011] Figure 4 is a graph showing how max2D, the brightness of the composite image seen by viewers not wearing stereo glasses, improves when aR, the brightness of the image shown to the right eye of 3D viewers, is decreased. [0012] Figure 5 depicts two versions of an image: (left) the ghosted double-image that would be seen on a typical 3D display if the viewer did not wear stereo glasses, and (right) the lower-contrast image without ghosting that the viewer would see on a display in accordance with the present invention. [0013] Figure 6 is a graph of viewer preference data. [0014] Figure 7 depicts images used in an experiment to quantify viewers' ability to perceive depth in static images on a stereoscopic display when one eye is presented with a darker image than the other eye. [0015] Figure 8 is a graph of the results of the experiment of Figure 7, showing that as one eye's brightness decreases, viewers' ability to perceive depth is not affected until the brightness of the darker eye is below 20% of the brightness of the brighter eye. [0016] Figure 9 depicts images used in an experiment to measure viewers' ability to perceive depth when the images shown to one eye are darker than those shown to the other eye. [0017] Figure 10 is a graph of data from the experiment of Figure 9, showing that viewers' ability to perceive depth differences was undisturbed by one eye seeing a darker image than the other provided the dark image was at least 10% as bright as the brighter eye. [0018] Figure 11 depicts images used in an experiment to quantify the impact of the Pulfrich Effect on depth perception. [0019] Figure 12 is made up of two graphs of data showing that, when one eye is brighter than the other, the depth of moving objects is misperceived. [0020] Figure 13 depicts a prototype of the inventive system including two projectors and a polarization preserving screen. [0021] Figure 14 depicts several example images of the inventive prototype in use.

  • Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis
    Virtual Reality and Visual Perception by Jared Bendis Introduction Goldstein (2002) defines perception as a “conscious sensory experience” (p. 6) and as scientists investigate how the human perceptual system works they also find themselves investigating how the human perceptual system doesn’t work and how that system can be fooled, exploited, and even circumvented. The pioneers in the ability to control the human perceptual system have been in the field of Virtual Realty. In Simulated and Virtual Realities – Elements of Perception, Carr (1995) defines Virtual Reality as “…the stimulation of human perceptual experience to create an impression of something which is not really there” (p. 5). Heilig (2001) refers to this form of “realism” as “experience” and in his 1955 article about “The Cinema of the Future” where he addresses the need to look carefully at perception and breaks down the precedence of perceptual attention as: Sight 70% Hearing 20% Smell 5% Touch 4% Taste 1% (p. 247) Not surprisingly sight is considered the most important of the senses as Leonardo da Vinci observed: “They eye deludes itself less than any of the other senses, because it sees by none other than the straight lines which compose a pyramid, the base of which is the object, and the lines conduct the object to the eye… But the ear is strongly subject to delusions about the location and distance of its objects because the images [of sound] do not reach it in straight lines, like those of the eye, but by tortuous and reflexive lines. … The sense of smells is even less able to locate the source of an odour.

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).

Images are made up of two color layers, superimposed, but offset with respect to each other to produce a depth effect. Usually the main subject is in the center, while the foreground and background are shifted laterally in opposite directions. The picture contains two differently filtered colored images, one for each eye. When viewed through the "color coded" "anaglyph glasses", they reveal an integrated stereoscopic image.
