Effects of virtual target size, position, and parallax on vergence-accommodation conflict as estimated by actual gaze.

Due to the increased utilization of stereoscopic displays, the scope of the vergence-accommodation conflict has been studied extensively to reveal how the human visual system operates. The purpose of this work was to study the phenomenon of vergence-accommodation conflict by comparing the theoretical eye vergence angle (vergence response) and gaze-based eye vergence angle (vergence stimulus) based on eye tracker gaze data. The results indicated that the gaze-based eye vergence angle was largest at the greatest parallax.
