29‐4: <i>Invited Paper:</i> Autostereoscopic Displays for Healthcare Applications

(Auto)stereoscopic displays are increasingly being used in healthcare applications such as radiology and surgery. This paper discusses basic operating principles of (auto)stereoscopic display technology, with special attention for recent switchable 3D technology that allows for switching between 2D and 3D mode of operation. Important image quality metrics such as crosstalk, (true) 3D resolution, brightness etc. and usability aspects (eg. glasses free, 3D viewing zone) are considered in context of applications in radiology and surgery. Finally, an outlook is given to future applications in healthcare and drivers and blockers for broader adoption of (auto)stereoscopic displays in healthcare are discussed.
