Human factors of 3-D displays

This paper provides a selected review of a number of important perceptual and human-factors issues that arise when 3-D displays are designed and used. This review and analysis draws heavily from the basic vision literature in order to help provide insight for future design solutions for 3-D displays. Issues discussed include (1) the basics of human stereopsis, (2) interocular crosstalk, (3) oculomotor responding and distance scaling of binocular disparity information, (4) accommodative-vergence mismatch, and (5) stereoanomly. The paper concludes with a presentation of several recommendations for the design of 3-D displays.
