We argue that combining CGH and perceptually guided graphics can soon lead to practical holographic display systems that deliver perceptually realistic images. We propose a new CGH method called metameric varifocal holograms. Our CGH method generates images only at a user’s focus plane while displayed images are statistically correct and indistinguishable from actual targets across peripheral vision (metamers). Thus, a user observing our holograms is set to perceive a high quality visual at their gaze location. At the same time, the integrity of the image follows a statistically correct trend in the remaining peripheral parts. We demonstrate our differentiable CGH optimization pipeline on modern GPUs, and we support our findings with a display prototype. Our method will pave the way towards realistic visuals free from classical CGH problems, such as speckle noise or poor visual quality.}, keywords = {Computer-Generated Holography, Metamerization, Foveated Rendering, Differentiable optimization, Varifocal, Gaze-contingent, Perceptual Graphics, Perception}, year = {2022}, doi = {10.1117/12.2610251}, URL = {https://doi.org/10.1117/12.2610251}, authorurl = {https://reality.tf.fau.de/projects/holography/aksit2022perceptually.html} }
