Patent number: 9462942Abstract: There is provided an apparatus to measure stereovision including a frame body, a 3D display unit, a reflective mirror, an eyepiece, a half mirror, a stage, a plurality of protrusion degree markers, a target, and a target driving unit. A reflection angle of the half mirror is adjusted such that an imaginary image of an object having a protrusion degree of 0 in the 3D image reflected on the half mirror is located above the protrusion degree marker having a protrusion degree of 0, the imaginary image being seen through the eyepiece. The target driving unit is controlled such that the target corresponds to an imaginary image of an object of a 3D image having a particular protrusion degree. The stereovision of a tester is evaluated based on a protrusion degree marker to which the target is adjacent among the protrusion degree markers.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2015Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF KOREA INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COOPERATION FOUNDATIONInventor: Hang-Bong Kang
