However, the current stereoscopic PM technology only satisfies binocular cues and is not capab le of providing correct focus cues, which causes a vergence--accommodation conflict (VAC). Therefore, we propose a multifocal approach to mitigate V AC in stereoscopic PM. Our primary technical contribution is to attach ele ctrically focus-tunable lenses (ETLs) to active shutter glasses to control both vergence and accommodation. Specifically, we apply fast and periodic al focal sweeps to the ETLs, which causes the ``virtual image'' (as an opt ical term) of a scene observed through the ETLs to move back and forth dur ing each sweep period. A 3D CG object is projected from a synchronized hig h-speed projector only when the virtual image of the projected imagery is located at a desired distance. This provides an observer with the correct focus cues required. In this study, we solve three technical issues that a re unique to stereoscopic PM: (1) The 3D CG object is displayed on non-pla nar and even moving surfaces; (2) the physical surfaces need to be shown w ithout the focus modulation; (3) the shutter glasses additionally need to be synchronized with the ETLs and the projector. We also develop a novel c ompensation technique to deal with the ``lens breathing'' artifact that v aries the retinal size of the virtual image through focal length modulatio n. Further, using a proof-of-concept prototype, we demonstrate that our te chnique can present the virtual image of a target 3D CG object at the corr ect depth. Finally, we validate the advantage provided by our technique by comparing it with conventional stereoscopic PM using a user study on a de pth-matching task.\n\nRegistration Category: FULL ACCESS, EXPERIENCE PLUS ACCESS, TRADE EXHIBITOR\n\nLanguage: ENGLISH\n\nFormat: IN-PERSON URL:https://sa2022.siggraph.org/en/full-program/?id=gp_135&sess=sess257 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
