Passive Polarized and Active Shutter 3D TVs

Three-dimensional (3D) display technology has brought a revolution to the entertainment market since 2009, especially in movies and video games. Two types of 3D consumer electronics display technologies are common, i.e., active shuttered and passive polarized based displays. This chapter describes the experiment design used to study which one of these technologies is superior when compared with traditional 2D displays. This is done by using videos of various 3D movies as stimulus for the experiment. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are recorded while watching 3D videos and the participants’ experience via simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ) is collected. This chapter also provides the description of EEG data and SSQ. Finally, relevant research papers are listed that utilized the dataset recorded in this experiment.
