Abstract:
In this presentation I’ll review results of
stereoacuity, disparity matching and depth magnitude estimation studies
in which comparison of so-called naïve and experienced observers shows
substantive differences in performance. I will describe our working
theory that the critical difference between these groups is their
tolerance to conflicts between stereopsis and other sources of depth
information. Further, I will review some recent data that suggest there
are some conflicts that even 3D very experienced participants cannot
disregard.

Research Chair in 3D Vision. She is cross appointed to the graduate
program in Biology and in Computer Science and Engineering. Her research
focusses on both fundamental and applied aspects of binocular depth
perception, with focus on cue integration, vision in natural
environments, virtual and augmented reality, and image quality
assessment. Her research is supported by grants from the Natural Sciences
and Engineering Council of Canada and through industry collaborations.
She is a fellow of the Association of Psychological Science, a member and
