Abstract

Stereoscopic 3D displays present two images offset to the left and right eye of the user and these images are then fused by the brain to give the perception of 3D depth. The generation of these two images uses two stereo parameters: separation and convergence. Currently, most stereoscopic 3D applications fix convergence and separation values for optimal viewing during usage time. However, this approach reduces stereo depth in certain scenarios. This chapter discusses work related to dynamic stereoscopic 3D parameters to generate better 3D images. We present our experiment which aims to improve depth perception using dynamic stereoscopic parameters.
