Stereoscopic image perception quality factors

Stereoscopic films and interactive presentations are extensively popularized whereas their perceived quality still dissatisfies viewers. The reasons are shared between hardware inconsistencies and stereo image producers unawareness concerning factors influencing depth perception quality. This paper reviews aspects influencing 3D image perception visual comfort, presents visual comfort estimation methods and suggests how to measure image perception quality.
