Near-Eye Light Field Displays

Near-eye light field displays depict sharp images by synthesizing light fields corresponding to virtual scenes located within a viewer's natural accommodation range. We establish fundamental trade-offs between resolution, field of view, and form factor and demonstrate a thin, lightweight HMD prototype, containing a pair of microlens-covered OLEDs.

Joint View Expansion and Filtering for Automultiscopic 3D Displays

We propose the first technique that performs both view expansion from 3D stereo content to multiple views and antialiasing for automultiscopic 3D displays. Our method can be efficiently implemented on GPU and provide results that are favorable when compare to state-off-the-art techniques,

A Metric of Visual Comfort for Stereoscopic Motion

We propose a novel metric of visual comfort for stereoscopic motion, based on perceptual experiments. We take into account disparity, motion in depth, motion on the screen plane, and the spatial frequency of luminance contrast. We further derive a comfort metric to predict the comfort of short stereoscopic videos.

Stereoscopizing Cel Animations

We propose a method to convert 2D cel animations into stereoscopic cel animations. It is mainly automatic with an optional user control. It fits nicely into the production flow of traditional cel animation. No 3D modeling nor manual depth assignment is required.
