Near-eye light field AR display with a continuous focal plane
Room: 10704, Bldg: Applied Science Building, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5A 1S6Human eyes have evolved over millions of years to have consistent vergence and accommodation. However, most stereoscopic AR/VR displays available today can easily cause vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) and hence visual fatigue to users. We resolve the problem by taking a light field approach that directly projects sub-aperture views of the light field of a virtual... Read more
