A series of carefully designed cuts in 3D ?lm-making [33,38]. perceptual experiments on successive disparity contrast were A depth jump in S3D movies is much more elaborate than used to build our model. Factors such as disparity, changes in the real world for two reasons. First, the ?eld of view in in disparity, and the spatial frequency of luminance contrast the real world is very large and the viewer controls where it were taken into account.
