Abstract:

Visual comfort is important in stereoscopic 3D experience. The influence of visual comfort can be categorized into psychological and physiological factors. Existing work focuses on visual fatigue factor analysis, comfort evaluation and comfort enhancement of 3D movies. Based on the related research, this paper summarizes the factors of visual fatigue, reviews various measurement methods proposed to evaluate visual comfort, and provides an overview of recent advances in improving 3D image quality. Finally, this paper previews the future work for visual comfort of 3D movies.

Key words: comfort evaluation, comfort improvement, visual comfort, stereoscopic video
