Computation and Informatics in Biology and Medicine (CIBM) Seminar: Film and media outlets have recently found new profitability in the use of 3D media. Unfortunately, the current means of content creation and presentation create an experience that does not match the viewer's perceptual expectations. While Virtual Reality systems have the potential to mitigate these shortcomings, their capabilities are often underutilized. This talk will discuss the means in which humans determine depth and the methods in which stereo imagery is often presented. The talk will focus on recently completed research that enables the calibration of a virtual environment based on an individual's perception. Empirical evaluation demonstrates that these newly developed methods improve the viewer's experience by reducing many of the perceptual artifacts found in traditional 3D environments.
