Abstract
A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing clamping force adjustment on a virtual reality (VR) headset. User preferences as to clamping force at one or more positions, such as rest position on top of the user's head and VR mode position on user's face, are determined. The preferences are stored in a user profile. When a user places the VR headset, clamping force at a position is measures and clamping force is adjusted at that position.
Claims14
A computer-implementable method of performing clamping force adjustment on a virtual reality (VR) headset comprising:
- determining a user preference as to clamping force at one or more positions on the user's head of the VR headset;
- storing the user preference in a user profile;
- measuring clamping force at a position of the one or more positions of the user's head;
- adjusting the clamping force at the position based on determined user preference and measured clamping force at the position;
- wherein the VR headset is an open loop design;
- and
- wherein clamping force adjustment is performed by a clamping force adjustment mechanism implementing a take up wheel that lets out or pulls in a wire to decrease or increase clamping force.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a data bus coupled to the processor;
- and
- a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
- determining a user preference as to clamping force at one or more positions on the user's head of the VR headset;
- storing the user preference in a user profile;
- measuring clamping force at a position of the one or more positions of the user's head;
- adjusting the clamping force at the position based on determined user preference and measured clamping force at the position;
- wherein the VR headset is an open loop design;
- and
- wherein clamping force adjustment is performed by a clamping force adjustment mechanism implementing a take up wheel that lets out or pulls in a wire to decrease or increase clamping force.
A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
- determining a user preference as to clamping force at one or more positions on the user's head of the VR headset;
- storing the user preference in a user profile;
- measuring clamping force at a position of the one or more positions of the user's head;
- adjusting the clamping force at the position based on determined user preference and measured clamping force at the position;
- wherein the VR headset is an open loop design;
- and
- wherein clamping force adjustment is performed by a clamping force adjustment mechanism implementing a take up wheel that lets out or pulls in a wire to decrease or increase clamping force.
