An evaluation of visual fatigue in 3-D displays: Focusing on the mismatching of convergence and accommodation

In this paper, we describe an experimental evaluation of visual fatigue in a binocular disparity type 3-D display system. To evaluate this fatigue, we use a subjective assessment method and focus on mismatching between conver gence and accommodation, which is a major weakness of binocular disparity 3 -D displays. For this subjective assessment, we use a newly-developed binoc ular disparity 3-D display system with a compensation function for accommod ation. Because this equipment only allowed us to compare the terms of the m ismatching itself, the evaluation is more accurate than similar previous wo rks.
