Saccade Detection and Processing for Enhancing 3D Visualizations in Real-Time

Abstract

We describe the utilization of the visual phenomenon saccadic suppression for masking graphical modifications in real-time 3D visualizations in order to hide disruptive effects from the human visual perception. Consequently, a saccade detection algorithm was implemented, which delivers outcomes at runtime. Furthermore an appropriate plugin for a software framework for 3D visualization (cf. [8]) was developed. A demonstration scene illustrates the performance of our approach regarding saccade detection and processing. Test results revealed that 96,5% of the measured latencies undercut our determined threshold of 30ms. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.
