About

Yuko Arikawa is a pioneering researcher in stereoscopic imaging and visual display systems, with a focus on enhancing human-computer interaction through advanced video technologies. Her most notable contribution is the development of the Q stereoscopic video system, introduced in her highly cited 1998 paper. This innovative system uses four video cameras and four displays to create a stereoscopic video experience with high resolution in the central visual field, addressing a critical limitation of earlier 3D systems. By combining two wide-angle cameras with specialized optics, Arikawa’s design significantly improved depth perception and visual clarity, laying groundwork for modern immersive displays. Her work has been cited over 9 times, reflecting its foundational role in stereoscopic research. Arikawa’s achievements demonstrate a unique ability to merge engineering precision with perceptual psychology, making her a key figure in the evolution of virtual and augmented reality technologies. Her research continues to inspire new generations of engineers working on high-fidelity 3D imaging systems for medical, entertainment, and industrial applications.
