Anaglyphic depth perception training or testing
First Claim
1. An anaglyphic image display device that provides at least one anaglyphic image when viewed through appropriate filter lenses, the anaglyphic display device comprising:
- at least one left-oriented target display component, the left-oriented target display components comprising a first color shading at a first wavelength;
at least one right-oriented target display component, the right-oriented target display components comprising a second color shading at a second wavelength;
a background comprising a third color shading at a third wavelength that comprises a mixture of the first color shading at the first wavelength and the second color shading at the second wavelength;
at least one first lens filter matching the first wavelength; and
at least one second lens filter matching the second wavelength,wherein the luminance contrast between the first color shading at the first wavelength and the third color shading at the third wavelength is equal to the luminance contrast between the second color shading at the second wavelength and the third color shading at the third wavelength.

Abstract
An anaglyphic image presentation system is provided to evaluate and train a user'"'"'s depth perception abilities. In embodiments, anaglyphic image target components are presented to a user on a display device. The image target components are then viewed by the user through a set of transmission filter lenses. The transmission filter lenses present and block one or more target components based on the peak wavelength transmission associated with each lens. As a result, a user perceives an anaglyphic target image that is resultant from the perceived image target components when viewed through the transmission filter lenses.

14. A method for testing and/or training the depth perception abilities of an individual within a substantially unchanged visual vergence range, the method comprising:
-
(a) providing anaglyphic glasses to the individual; (b) instructing the individual to select an anaglyphic visual target displayed nearest to the background; (c) displaying, on a display device at a first time, at least two anaglyphic visual targets, the at least two anaglyphic visual targets being displayed with similar but non-identical depth information, such that the individual may perceive both anaglyphic visual targets with substantially unchanged visual vergence with one of the at least two anaglyphic visual targets being perceived by the individual as nearer to the background than the at least one other anaglyphic visual target; (d) receiving a response from the individual at a second time selecting one of the at least two anaglyphic visual targets; (e) determining at a control unit whether the anaglyphic visual target selected by the individual corresponds to the anaglyphic visual target displayed with depth information so as to be perceived as nearer to the background; (f) recording the time elapsed for the user to respond and recording the accuracy of the user response; (g) iteratively repeating steps (e)-(f) a predetermined number of times. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A method for testing and/or training the depth perception abilities of an individual within a substantially unchanged visual vergence range, the method comprising:
-
(a) providing anaglyphic glasses to the individual; (b) instructing the individual to select an anaglyphic visual target displayed farthest from the background; (c) displaying, on a display device at a first time, at least two anaglyphic visual targets, the at least two anaglyphic visual targets being displayed with similar but non-identical depth information, such that the individual may perceive both anaglyphic visual targets with substantially unchanged visual vergence with one of the at least two anaglyphic visual targets being perceived by the individual as farther from the background than the at least one other anaglyphic visual target; (d) receiving a response from the individual at a second time selecting one of the at least two anaglyphic visual targets; (e) determining at a control unit whether the anaglyphic visual target selected by the individual corresponds to the anaglyphic visual target displayed with depth information so as to be perceived as farther from the background; (f) recording the time elapsed for the user to respond and recording the accuracy of the user response; (g) iteratively repeating steps (e)-(f) a predetermined number of times. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
