Abstract:
Recent advances have been made in 3D technology. However, the influence of stereoscopic vision on human sight remains insufficiently understood. The public has come to understand that lens accommodation and convergence are mismatched during stereoscopic vision, and this is the main reason for visual fatigue caused while viewing 3D images. 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; therefore, we measured accommodation and convergence in subjects who watched both. From the result of this experiment, we found that no discrepancy exists in viewing either 3D video clips or real objects. Therefore, we argue that the symptoms in viewing stereoscopic vision may not be due to the discrepancy between lens accommodation and convergence.
