Field-of-View Studies for Stereo Interactions

Abstract

Rapidly growing extended reality technologies brought us more stereo interfaces and the costs became more affordable. We anticipated a rapid adaptation of the stereo display in everyday life and professional practice. Unfortunately, similar to 3D TVs, stereo displays have not been widely used in real-time. In this study, we want to know how the users interact with the stereo display systems, say, “stereo interaction.” We focus on the factors of field-of-view and distance to the screen. We found the field of view of many well-known stereo displays is very limited. For certain devices, only one location is for the user, not for the team to view the 3D effects. We also studied the stability of the 3D image in different lighting, poses, and motion. Finally, we zoom into the laparoscopic surgery training and summarize our findings.
