Abstract
This chapter covers two contextual factors that affect stereo viewing: spatio-temporal frequency, and distance scaling of disparity. These factors are considered ‘contextual’ because they partly define the conditions that exist when someone views a stereo display: spatio-temporal frequency involves the distribution of display luminance, and distance scaling of disparity involves visual information about viewing distance and disparity within a cue integration process.
