Abstract

With the rapid development of multimedia technology and Internet technology, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are becoming more and more mature as the typical cutting-edge three-dimensional video technology. However, the visual comfort of three-dimensional image has gradually become an important factor related to the visual safety and physiological health of viewers. Aiming at the color difference of left and right eye views in VR/AR stereoscopic video, quantitative experiments through subjective assessment were conducted to study the influence of Hue, Saturation and Brightness (HSB) on visual comfort in binocular stereoscopic video, and VR/AR comfort relationship models based on HSB was established. The universality of the models was further verified through experiments, and the results showed that the matching accuracy rate between the subjective evaluation results and the VR/AR comfort relationship models reached more than 80%, that is, the model had a high consistency with the subjective evaluation results, which will provide a reference for the evaluation of VR/AR stereo video visual comfort.
