[Philip Lelyveld comment: I will be presenting at this conference]
June 1 - 3, 2011
Pacific University College of Optometry, Jefferson Hall, Forest Grove, Oregon
The virtual 3D environment provides many unique challenges to the visual system, including vision and/or vertigo-related symptoms. There is much yet to be known about the interaction between the human visual system and the virtual 3D environment created by 3D displays. Our primary research objective is to gain an understanding of the major underlying causes of either a poor viewing experience or health-related symptoms, and to be able to guide clinical care and the 3D industry to optimal solutions.
Session Topics:
- The Visual System and 3D Displays
- 3D Displays - Vision and Public Health
- Technology and Delivering 3D to the Visual System
- Children and Electronic Displays
- Glasses, Optics, and Vision
- Vision and Display Characteristics
