8.2 Some Perceptually Motivated LOD Criteria 237
Figure 8.3
Illustrating the depth of field of two objects. Object A lies within Panum's fusional
area and is perceived in focus, whereas object B is blurred [Ohshima 96].
Here, A4~ = 14~ - 4~01, where 4~0 is the angle of convergence for the fixation point, 4~
is the angle toward the object, b is the threshold width of the fusional area (assigned
the value 0 degrees), and c 3 is a scaling parameter (assigned 0.62 degrees).
Of course, depth of field LOD is most appropriate for stereoscopic displays in
which separate images are presented to the user's left and right ...
