Expression of balance function during exposure to stereoscopic video clips

Abstract

Recently, with the rapid progress in image processing and three-dimensional (3D) technologies, stereoscopic images are available not only on television but also in theaters and gaming consoles. Asthenopia and visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) are well-known phenomena experienced by users while viewing video clips, playing immersive video games, and other such activities. In previous studies, we showed evidence that peripherally viewing plays a role in the pathogenesis of VIMS and described the anomalous sway with the use of mathematical models. Stochastic differential equations are known to be a mathematical model of body sway. In this study, we discuss the evolution in potential functions to control the standing posture during exposure to stereoscopic video clips.
