Effect of Coupling Haptics and Stereopsis on Depth Perception in Virtual Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work aims to overcome human’s instability of stereopsis depth perception in virtual environment provided with stereo graphics. We investigated the possibility of integrating both haptic sensation and stereopsis cues to improve the task of localizing and manipulating objects in virtual environment.

Stereo Vision and Acuity Tests within a Virtual Reality Set-Up
The provision of stereo images to facilitate depth perception by stereopsis is one key aspect of many Virtual Reality installations and there are many technical approaches to do so. However, differences in visual capabilities of the user and technical limitations of a specific set-up might restrict the spatial range in which stereopsis can be facilitated. In this paper, we transfer an existent ...
متن کاملMultimodal Display Systems: Haptic, Olfactory, Gustatory, and Vestibular
The Sensorama is the prototypical embodiment of a virtual environment (VE), conceived and implemented years before “VR” (or “virtual reality”) became a common term. Whereas VR has been often characterized as “goggles and gloves,” Heilig (1962) developed a truly multimodal display system that provided for stereoscopic vision, binaural audition, haptics (wind in the face; vibration or “jolts”), a...
متن کاملSynthetic Stereoscopic Panoramic Images
Presented here is a discussion of the techniques required to create stereoscopic panoramic images. Such images allow interactive exploration of 3D environments with stereoscopic depth cues. If projected in a surround display environment they can engage the two characteristics of the human visual system responsible for immersion, namely stereopsis and peripheral vision.
متن کاملStereopsis, Visuospatial Ability, and Virtual Reality in Anatomy Learning
A new wave of virtual reality headsets has become available. A potential benefit for the study of human anatomy is the reintroduction of stereopsis and absolute size. We report a randomized controlled trial to assess the contribution of stereopsis to anatomy learning, for students of different visuospatial ability. Sixty-three participants engaged in a one-hour session including a study phase a...
متن کاملBenefits of Immersion for Viewing 3D Data
Immersion has been shown to be beneficial in a number of different application domains. We attempted to quantify the effect of immersion on 3D abstract data analysis. We developed a program to show users animated plasma flows in a CAVE [1] environment. Stereopsis and field of regard were varied in a user test involving flows around a sphere. Our results showed that the stereopsis helped users t...
