Abstract:
The use of 3-dimensional images has been spreading rapidly in recent years such as in 3D films and 3D televisions. However, the influence of stereoscopic vision on human visual function remains insufficiently understood. The public has come to understand that lens accommodation and convergence are mismatched while viewing 3D video clips, and this is the main reason for the visual fatigue caused by 3D. The aim in this study is to compare the fixation distance of accommodation and convergence in viewing real objects and 3D video clips. Real objects and 3D video clips perform the same movements. We measured accommodation and convergence in viewing real objects and 3D video clips. From the result of this experiment, we found that no discrepancy exists in viewing 3D video clips like real object. Therefore, we argue that the symptoms in viewing stereoscopic vision may not be due to the discrepancy between lens accommodation and convergence.
