Abstract

Computational accommodation-invariant (AI) display attempts to mitigate vergence-accommodation conflict (VAC) by showing a constant imagery no matter where the observer focuses on. However, due to the usage of an electrically focus-tunable lens, the contrast of imagery is degraded as point-spread functions of multiple foci are integrated. In this paper, we introduce the content-adaptive approach to improve the contrast at the depth of highly salient region in the image. The position of focal plane is dynamically determined considering the zone of comfort and the mean focal distance of salient region. The contrast enhancement compared to conventional accommodation-invariant display is shown through simulation results using USAF resolution target image. We demonstrate our proof-of-concept prototype and its optical feasibility is verified with experimental results.
