Abstract
Announced as an immersive technology stereoscopic 3D (S-3D) is actively implemented in consumer electronics. S-3D is capable of producing a sense of presence for the viewers, yet bottlenecks such as visual discomfort still exist. This research investigates the experiences of presence and visual comfort when watching S-3D content in the home, hereby focusing on both user characteristics and environmental factors, in particular light circumstances. This was researched using a mixed method design, involving in-depth interviews, diary study, quantitative survey as well as three subjective tests. Sensations of presence as well as the S-3D visualizations in itself can motivate viewers to watch S-3D. Moreover, there is a clear trade off between these positive sensations and discomforts derived from the nature of S-3D and the S-3D glasses. In addition, both visual comfort and presence are significantly influenced by the given light circumstances.
