Abstract
It is well known that wearing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices for long periods can cause visual fatigue and motion sickness due to vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC). VAC is considered the main obstacle to the development of advanced three-dimensional VR and AR technology. In this paper, we present a novel AR high-density super-multiview (HDSMV) display technique capable of eliminating VAC in wide range. The designed binocular time-sequential AR HDSMV projection, which delivers 11 views to each eye pupil, is experimentally demonstrated, confirming that VAC is eliminated over a wide-range of viewer’s focus distance. It is believed that the proposed time-sequential AR HDSMV method will pave the way for the development of VAC-free AR technology.

It is well known that wearing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices for long periods can cause visual fatigue and motion sickness due to vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC)
To the best of our knowledge, no Super multiview (SMV) display has been reported capable of providing more than five views even in the horizontal direction based on an eye pupil diameter of 4 mm[13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]
We investigate a VAC-free AR SMV approach for a wide-range of viewer’s focus distance using a binocular time-sequential high-density super-multiview (BTS HDSMV) projection technique
Summary
It is well known that wearing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) devices for long periods can cause visual fatigue and motion sickness due to vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC). The designed binocular time-sequential AR HDSMV projection, which delivers 11 views to each eye pupil, is experimentally demonstrated, confirming that VAC is eliminated over a wide-range of viewer’s focus distance. We investigate a VAC-free AR SMV approach for a wide-range of viewer’s focus distance using a binocular time-sequential high-density super-multiview (BTS HDSMV) projection technique. To experimentally test this BTS HDSMV approach, we devise an AR SMV 3D display system consisting of full-color digital micromirror device (DMD) and the time-sequential shutter. In the observation unit of the system, a thin slit moves rapidly in the horizontal direction in front of the viewer’s left and right eyes, allowing them to view a projection image
