Improved 3D with super stereoscopy technique

Abstract

This paper introduces a new major milestone on stereoscopic displays, where users no longer suffer from the accommodation-vergence conflict problem with a perfected monocular parallax. Our method provides multiple views to a single eye by using special apertures equipped with filters in front of the user's eyes in which the design is embedded into conventional stereoscopic glasses or special stereoscopic contact lenses. Thus, visual fatigue originated from accommodation-vergence conflict is avoided. Through informal subjective tests, we have shown that the depth perception, accommodation, and vergence of the eyes can be enhanced. The technique is also capable of converting multi-view displays to Super Multi-View (SMV) displays.
