17. Binocular vision Properties – Field of view – Convergence – Stereopsis (2 imagenes distintas, dan info de profundidad) – Binocular fusion (vemos 1 imagen, no 2) – etc. One “spare” eye ? UPV/EHU17Alex Garcia-Alonso

43. Shutter glasses – Some people notice flicker – Glasses much more expensive, need batteries – Up to 2011 lack of compatibility Polarized glasses – Perception tends to be worse – Attenuate brightness (half “black”) – Monitor must polarize In a nutshell – Both technologies continue improving – One might overcome the other one – However, comparing them is not the core target Active vs passive UPV/EHU43Alex Garcia-Alonso

44. Hardware challenges Tilt creates problems – the highest in autostereo and linear polarized – fewer in circular polarized – the highest tilt can be achieved with active Afterglow, Light Leakage  double images – Fast Switching Phosphor – High-Speed Shutters UPV/EHU44Alex Garcia-Alonso

45. Unsolved perception challenges Presently no “viewer selected”: – Convergence – Accommodation “Revolutionary” hw/sw solutions are required Proper MM content production may alleviate user discomfort UPV/EHU45Alex Garcia-Alonso

46. MM content production UPV/EHU46Alex Garcia-Alonso

47. Viewing vs. Watching vs. Inmmersion Accommodation and convergence – Viewing real world Conscious control (also unconscious reflex) Focus, accommodation We see reality as we want to see – Watching displays (TV, PC) We see reality as we are shown Some vision mechanisms cannot actuate Immersion (as in virtual worlds, games) means more : interaction UPV/EHU47Alex Garcia-Alonso
