visual target oscillating in depth‚ which participants had to track. The results showed a significant decline in the amplitude of the in-depth oscillatory vergence response over time. We propose that eye-tracking provides a useful tool to objectively assess the timevarying alterations of the vergence system when using stereoscopic displays. Keywords: Eye-tracking‚ repetition of eye movements‚ stereoscopic displays‚ vergence‚ visual fatigue provide depth perception with a stereoscopic device‚ the

Visual perception and visual sensation are both interactive processes‚ although there is a significant difference between the two processes. Sensation is defined as the stimulation of sense organs Visual sensation is a physiological process which means that it is the same for everyone. We absorb energy such as electro magnetic energy (light) or sound waves by sensory organs such as eyes. This energy is then transduced into electro chemical energy by the cones and rods (receptor cells) in the retina
