Fig. 1) In this figure, we plot the selected peak luminance and contrast (magenta asterisk) on top of a heatmap of JOD scores predicted by our model. The red X represents the baseline display (0 JODs) with parameters representative of commercial VR (100 nits, 64:1 contrast), black crosses are conditions we studied, and the red star is the reference condition in our study (1,000 nits, 1M:1).
