June 16 Noon PST Webinar: User Issues in Stereoscopic 3D Displays
SID Web Seminar
Date: Thursday, June 16, 2011
Time: 12:00 PM (noon) Pacific Daylight Time
Duration: Approximately 1 hour including Q&A
Sponsors: Rambus & Sharp
FULL DETAILS: see the red webinar link on SID's homepage
Subject: User Issues in Stereoscopic 3D Displays
Dr. Martin Banks is a vision scientist at Visual Space Perception Laboratory at UC Berkeley. He will discuss the use of stereoscopic 3D displays in industry and impact on the user. In addition, he will discuss technical criteria relevant to effect use of stereoscopic 3D displays.
In this Webinar you will learn:
A variety of user issues.
The temporal protocols used in stereo 3D and how they affect perceived flicker, motion artifacts, and depth distortions
Head roll, vertical eye movements, and visual discomfort
Visual-vestibular conflict and nausea
Vergence-accommodation conflict
Vergence: the inward or outward turning movement of the eyes in convergence or divergence
Accommodation: the focusing of the eyes to make the image on the retinas sharp.
Vergence and accommodation in natural viewing; coupling
Vergence and accommodation in stereo displays
Optometric measures of discomfort
Evidence that vergence-accommodation conflict with stereo displays causes discomfort: blurry vision, tired eyes, and headache
The effect of viewing distance
The effect of the direction of the conflict (content in front of the screen or behind?)
Maintaining comfort in different viewing situations
Relating these findings to current practice
About the Presenter:
Dr. Martin Banks received his Bachelor’s at Occidental College in 1970 majoring in Psychology and minoring in Physics. After a year in Germany, he entered graduate school, receiving a Master’s in Psychology at UCSD in 1973 and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology at Minnesota in 1976. He was Assistant and Associate Professor of Psychology at University of Texas at Austin from 1976-1985. He moved to UC Berkeley School of Optometry in 1985 where he is Professor of Optometry and Vision Science serving as Chairman of Vision Science from 1995-2002. Banks has received several awards for basic and applied research on topics including human visual development, visual space perception, the development and evaluation of stereoscopic displays, and inter-sensory perception.

Gooch & Housego device to be featured on Mythbusters!
The OL731 USB Smart Detector, from the Life Sciences & Instrumentation division of Gooch & Housego, an FPC member company, will be featured on an upcoming episode of the Discover Channel's Mythbuster. The show, scheduled to air on Wednesday, June 22 at 9pm, is a science entertainment TV program in which the hosts use elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, Internet videos, and news stories. The OL731 is a low-cost, hand-held radiometer/photometer that can be tailored to the spectral response of the user's specific application requirements with the use of a range of sensors and filters. It will be used in an experiment to see if a trick used to light an undeground chamber in a scene from The Mummy could actually have been performed or is a myth!
