Abstract

In a 3D near-eye light field display using microlens array-based integral imaging, the accommodation response is presumed to exactly coincide with the reconstructed depth plane (RDP) which, however, has been little examined. By employing a highly accurate image formation model to analyze retinal images, the accommodation response is revealed to significantly shift towards the central depth plane (CDP) because of defocusing. The shift is quantitatively characterized for various CDPs and RDPs with a preliminary verifying experiment to provide content producers an approach to address the accommodation shift to fully mitigate the vergence-accommodation conflict.
