Multi-Focal Plane Head-Mounted Display

We further investigated a time-multiplexed multi-focal plane approach to achieve the capability of rendering pseudo-correct focus cues for a volume of 3D objects. The virtual objects therefore can be rendered with correct or near-correct focus cues from optical infinity to the near point of the eye, analogous to the naturally coupled convergence cues. A pilot study suggested improved depth perception and correct accommodation response. Continuing research is being carried out to develop prototypes which will be used to perform studies to understand a variety of visual artifacts found in stereoscopic displays.
