Journal ArticleDOI
Slant from texture and disparity cues: optimal cue combination.
TL;DR: There is a growing empirical consensus that MLE provides a good quantitative account of cue combination and that sensory information is used in a manner that maximizes the precision of perceptual estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stereo display prototype with multiple focal distances
TL;DR: A prototype stereo display comprising two independent fixed-viewpoint volumetric displays that generate near-correct focus cues without tracking eye position is described, including a novel technique of filtering along visual lines using 1-D texture mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focus cues affect perceived depth.
TL;DR: The results of both experiments show that focus cues can contribute to estimates of 3-D scene parameters and have an indirect effect on perceived slant via the distance estimate used in disparity scaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technical Section: A review of virtual environments for training in ball sports
TL;DR: This review of the state-of-the-art virtual environments for ball sports focuses on just ball sports, and was carried out as part of a current project developing training tools for rugby.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accommodation to multiple-focal-plane displays: Implications for improving stereoscopic displays and for accommodation control.
TL;DR: This work determined the maximum image-plane separation that supported accurate and reliable accommodation, and used an analysis of retinal-image formation to predict when responses might be inaccurate, to suggest that higher spatial frequencies contribute less to the accommodation response than has previously been thought.
