Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to compare and assess changes of visual functions in viewing an anaglyph 3D image. Methods: Visual functions were examined before and after viewing a 2D image and an anaglyph 3D image with red-green glasses on seventy college students (mean age = 22.29${\pm}$2.19 years). Visual function tests were carried out for von Graefe phoria test, accommodative amplitude test by (-) lens addition, negative relative accommodation (NRA) and positive relative accommodation (PRA) test, negative relative convergence (NRC) and positive relative convergence (PRC) test, accommodative facility, and vergence facility test. Results: Assessment of the visual functions indicated that near exophoria and accommodative amplitude were reduced after viewing a 3D image, and although there were small changes in relation to these findings, NRC and PRC showed tendencies to increase and decrease at near, respectively. There were no significant changes with NRA and PRA, and accommodative and vergence facility were shown to have improved. Conclusions: Changes of visual functions were more in the 3D image than the 2D image, especially at near than distance. Particularly, the improvement of accommodative and vergence facility could be related to an effect of subsequent accommodation and vergence shift to have stereopsis in the 3D image. These results indicate that an anaglyph 3D image may, to some extent, be the effect of vision training such as anaglyphs.

목적: Anaglyph 3D입체 영상 시청에서 나타나는 시기능 변화를 비교 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 대학생 70명(평균나이 22.29${\pm}$2.19세)을 대상으로 2D영상과 적록안경방식의 anaglyph 3D영상 시청 전후의 시기능을 검사하였다. 시기능 평가는 von Graefe법을 이용한 사위 검사, (-)렌즈 부가법을 이용한 조절력 검사, 음성 및 양성상대조절력(negative relative accommodation, NRA; positive relative accommodation, PRA) 검사, 음성 및 양성상대폭주력(negative relative convergence, NRC; positive relative convergence, PRC) 검사, 조절용이성 및 이향용이성 검사로 하였다. 결과: 3D영상 시청 후의 시기능 평가에서 근거리의 외사위 감소와 조절력 감소를 보였고, 이와 관련하여 적은 변화이긴 하지만 근거리의 NRC는 증가하는 경향을, PRC는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. NRA와 PRA의 변화는 없었으며, 조절용이성과 이향용이성은 더 좋아진 것으로 확인되었다. 결론: 시기능 변화는 2D영상보다 3D영상 시청에서, 원거리보다 근거리에서 더 많은 변화를 보였으며, 특히 3D영상 시청 후의 조절용이성과 이향용이성 향상은 3D영상에서 입체감을 갖기 위한 조절과 이향의 지속적인 운동 효과와 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 시기능 변화를 볼 때, anaglyph 3D영상이 anaglyph방식의 시기능 훈련과 같은 효과가 어느 정도 있는 것으로 본다.
