Surface textures improve the robustness of stereoscopic depth cues

摘要

This research develops design recommendations for surface textures(patterns of color on object surfaces)rendered with stereoscopic displays. In 3 method-of- adjustment procedure experiments, 8 participants matched the disparity of a circular probe and a planar stimulus rendered using a single visible edge. The experiments varied stimulus orientation and surface texture. Participants more accurately matched the depth of vertical stimuli than that of horizontal stimuli, consistent with previous studies and existing theory.
