Digital inter-pupillary distance adjustment

An apparatus, comprising:

• a computer processing system configured, by suitable programming, to perform a method comprising:
• presenting a calibration image on a display device having two fixed optics configured for a specific inter-pupillary distance;
• adjusting one or more settings for presentation of the calibration image with a processor coupled to the display device, wherein the one or more settings are related to an inter-pupillary distance (IPD) of the user;
• receiving an input from the user corresponding to the user perceiving the calibration image to be acceptable at a particular value of the one or more settings at the processor;
• determining an IPD value from the particular value of the one or more settings with the processor;
• and
• using the determined IPD value in presenting subsequent images to the stereoscopic display with the processor, wherein the subsequently displayed image is altered by software warping to optimize said subsequently displayed image for the user's IPD.

A method comprising:

• displaying a calibration image to a user on a stereoscopic image display device comprising fixed optics configured for a specific inter-pupillary distance;
• adjusting a display setting of the calibration image, wherein the display setting is dependent upon the user's inter-pupillary distance (IPD);
• receiving an input from the user;
• storing in memory a display setting of the calibration image corresponding to the input from the user;
• and
• digitally altering a subsequently displayed image by software warping to optimize said subsequently displayed image for the user's IPD based on the display setting of the calibration image stored in memory.
