Abstract

In order to make 3-D display technique a better tool to provide viewers with realistic stereoscopic experience, various researches have been done in the many relevant fields. This psychophysical study was designed to investigate whether there was any difference in the perceptual processing between a dominant and non-dominant eye when a 3-D cue was provided exclusively to only one eye. We measured the reaction time for detecting a depth change by providing the viewer's each eyes with differential 3-D stimuli, which have systematical patterns. We obtained that there was a consistent 3-D perceptual performance when the 3-D cue was provided to the viewers' left eye regardless of their eye dominance. The result suggests that it might be a better technique to arrange the camera for left eye to carry 3-D cues to get the viewer's consistent 3-D perception.

3-D 디스플레이를 이용하여 실감나는 입체 경험을 시청자에게 제공하는데 필요한 요인을 파악하는 다양한 연구가 여러 분야에서 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 3차원 지각에 필요한 정보를 어느 쪽 눈에 제시하느냐에 따라 관찰자의 입체 지각 과정에 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 실험은 관찰자의 우세안과 비우세안에 3-D 자극 패턴의 변화를 배타적으로 제공하고, 이 자극 정보를 통합해서 3-D 입체로 지각하는 시간을 측정하는 과정이 포함되었다. 다양한 조건으로 구성된 실험에서 얻은 결과는 관찰자의 우세안 여부에 상관없이 3-D 정보가 왼쪽 눈에 제시된 경우, 오른쪽 눈에 비해 일관성 있게 지각이 수행된다는 것이다. 본 결과는 3-D 영상물 제작 시 깊이 정보가 왼쪽 눈에 담길 수 있도록 입체 영상 카메라 시점을 조정한다면, 입체 영상물에 담겨있는 깊이를 영상 관람자가 더 잘 지각할 수 있음을 제안하고 있다.
