“…Similarly, Eoh et al [29] showed that (α + θ)/β and α/β significantly increased whereas α and β waves were reduced. Chen et al [6] used the four algorithms and four frequency wavebands to evaluate the visual fatigue associated with viewing 3D TVs. The results showed that in some regions in the brain, the indicators for participants watching 3D TV varied more significantly than when the participants watched 2D TV, except for the θ rhythm.…”

Abstract:The current stereoscopic 3D displays have several human-factor issues including visual-fatigue symptoms such as eyestrain, headache, fatigue, nausea, and malaise. The viewing time and viewing distance are factors that considerably affect the visual fatigue associated with 3D displays. Hence, this study analyzes the effects of display type (2D vs. 3D) and viewing distance on visual fatigue during a 60-min viewing session based on electroencephalogram (EEG) relative beta power, and alpha/beta power ratio. In this study, twenty male participants watched four videos. The EEGs were recorded at two occipital lobes (O1 and O2) of each participant in the pre-session (3 min), post-session (3 min), and during a 60-min viewing session. The results showed that the decrease in relative beta power of the EEG and the increase in the alpha/beta ratio from the start until the end of the viewing session were significantly higher when watching the 3D display. When the viewing distance was increased from 1.95 m to 3.90 m, the visual fatigue was decreased in the case of the 3D-display, whereas the fatigue was increased in the case of the 2D-display. Moreover, there was approximately the same level of visual fatigue when watching videos in 2D or 3D from a long viewing distance (3.90 m).

“…Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate the visual fatigue caused because of watching 3D displays using electroencephalogram (EEG) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The EEG method is selected as it is the most significant and reliable physiological measure for evaluating mental fatigue [17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…They can lead to a variety of problems, such as physical discomfort (dry eyes or rising heart rates) [2], psychological discomfort (anxiety or frustration), and financial losses cause by increased error rates [3][4][5]. Methods such as analyzing EEG, eye signals, or ECG, could be used to evaluate user fatigue, but these methods are not effective for daily testing [6,7].…”

Abstract. In this paper, participants operated visual display terminals (VDT); the authors analyzed their pulse wave signals to develop objective indices for diagnosing and assessing VDT-induced. The experiment used 30 healthy undergraduates test subjects; each subject operated static PC for 4 hours. The pulse waves of local blood volumes in the test subjects' finger-tips were measured every 30 minutes for 2 minutes. After the experiment, the pulse wave parameters were analyzed. All test subjects exhibited signs of visual fatigue according to the fatigue scale results. There were significant differences of heart rate (HR), which clearly declined before and after the experiment (P<0.01). The indexes RMSSD, SDNN, P3, P4, P5, P6, and TP had significant differences (P<0.01) and all rose. The positions of the main and dicrotic waves advanced (P<0.01). The experiment parameters prompted significant changes; pulse wave forms changed during VDT work. Based on these results, pulse wave analysis holds promise as an effective, noninvasive technique for measuring VDT fatigue.

IntroductionThe three-dimensional movies are popular among today's generation. Following the success of the blockbuster movie Avatar, interest in 3D movies has increased significantly, leading to the production of more 3D movies. 3D televisions, 3D broadcasting and 3D Blu-ray movies also hit the market. More recently, virtual reality becomes a popular trend for consumers who want even more immersive 3D experiences. A few months ago Paramount Pictures launches the first virtual reality movie theater.Along with the rising popularity in 3D technologies, the biggest concern of creating 3D contents is to offer deeper and more meaningful experiences. Many works have shown that 3D images help users experience excitement, a feeling of presence, and enjoyment, and even performance advantages for depth-related tasks [1]. Despite the growing interest in 3D contents and technologies, few are concerned about viewers' perceptual and emotional responses to 3D stimuli.Much 3D related research is focused on technical factors, such as the fidelity of stereoscopic depth and reduction of visual discomforts while the viewer is watching 3D [2][3][4]. For example, subjective evaluation was used to compare visual fatigue induced by AbstractIn this research, we investigated on user's affective and physiological responses to the emotional movies. The emotional movies provide continuous feedback such as changes in saturation, brightness and contrast of the movie in response to users' emotional states. In the user study, the subjects watched the emotional movies, edited by fearful and joyful scenes, and presented in 2D and 3D formats. The subject's self-reported emotion responses and their physiological signals were analyzed. The results highlight the importance of scenes (such as, the color, tone, and brightness of the scene) than 2D or 3D format in understanding the impact of users' emotional responses. More physiological emotional changes, positive user responses and higher correlation rate between physiological and subjective responses were evident for joyful scene than fearful scene when presented in 3D format.

RESEARCHPage 2 of 17 KimOn the other hand, physiological measurements provide a more objective evaluation for studying visual fatigue induced by a 3D display [6]. For example, the study on influence of 3D TV based on physiological signals measured the viewers' emotional states [7,8]. Results showed a correlation between the effect of physiological responses and emotional states. This indicates that physiological responses can be potentially ample indicators of emotionally engaging 3D video.Human emotion is a complex phenomenon with both affective and physiological components. The affective component refers to the users' subjective feeling while the physiological component refers to the physiological...
