Abstract
The present invention relates to a display system for stereoscopic viewing, the system comprising a binocular viewing device, information content, and a display source. The display system is remarkable in that it further comprises electronic components for implementing pieces of software for optimizing the binocular viewing device, the information content, and the display source, said pieces of optimization software together forming a loop for managing various parameters. The wearer of said device can thus view the information content via the binocular viewing device under conditions that are best adapted to the wearer's physiology.
Claims13
A display system for stereoscopic viewing, the system comprising:
- a binocular viewing device;
- information content chosen between a virtual content, a real and filmed content or stereoscopically acquired information content, and a real and not stereoscopic content;
- and
- a display source to read and/or display video;
- said system further comprising electronics components for implementing software for optimizing the binocular viewing device, the information content, and the display source, said optimization software together forming a loop for managing the following parameters:
- the interpupillary distance of a wearer, constituting an input parameter to the software for optimizing the binocular viewing device and the information content and the display source;
- an image display distance which is an output parameter from the software for optimizing the binocular viewing device, and which is an input parameter to the software for optimizing the information content, said image display distance and the interpupillary distance being processed by the software for optimizing the binocular viewing device so as to guarantee a horizontal parallax that is always less than 1.5° in absolute value,
- the virtual information content, the real and filmed or stereoscopically acquired information content and the real and not stereoscopic information content, a map of image disparities and a spatial frequency content, which constitute output parameters from the software for optimizing the information content and which constitute input parameters to the software for optimizing the display source, the real and filmed or stereoscopically acquired information content, the interpupillary distance of the wearer and the image display distance being processed by the software for optimizing the information content so as to determine the angle between two cameras specific to the filmed or stereoscopically acquired information content,
- a distance of the rendering plane and minter-camera distance which constitute output parameters from the software for optimizing the display source, and which constitute input parameters to the software for optimizing the binocular viewing device, the distance of the rendering plane being processed by the software for optimizing the binocular viewing device so as to be equal to the image display distance;
- said output parameters from the pieces of optimization software being adapted to the interpupillary distance of said wearer so that said wearer views the information content by means of the binocular viewing device under conditions that are best adapted to the wearer's physiology in order to minimize or even eliminate visual fatigue or discomfort.
