  • Abstract
    Why are 3D displays good for rapidly appreciating the third dimension of scenes? We show that information availability is more important than the 3D display format. Participants engaged in visual search for the attributes of altitude and pitch for coding schemes. This design let us disentangle the display format and information coding scheme so that we could properly evaluate the effect of each on performance
