Autostereoscopic 3‐D displays enable immersive experiences in entertainment and media consumption. 3‐D movies serve as an example of this and especially in mobile environment the concept of 3‐D short movies may offer the user new means of filling micro breaks. Since movie production is international, subtitles are essential in some cases to allow wider distribution of the movies. with 3‐D movies the way the subtitles are shown, an understanding of the consequences of the depth levels used either in the content or the subtitles is crucial. This paper describes the results of subjective tests investigating subtitles in stereoscopic 3‐D still images for small size displays. More precisely the effect of different depth levels of the subtitles and their interaction with different scene contents with varying depth has been investigated.
