Astigmatism-driven media content compensation

An electronic device, comprising:

• a head-mounted display (HMD);
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory for storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• obtaining the media content to be rendered on the HMD, wherein the HMD includes two displays for two eyes of a user associated with the HMD;
• obtaining astigmatism measures of the two eyes, including executing a virtual assessment application to determine the astigmatism measures of the two eyes;
• for each respective eye of the user, compensating the media content to generate respective compensated media content for a respective one of the two displays based on a respective astigmatism measure of the respective eye;
• and
• rendering the compensated media content on the two displays of the HMD for the user.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for:

• at the electronic device, wherein the electronic device including a head-mounted display (HMD):
• obtaining the media content to be rendered on the HMD, wherein the HMD includes two displays for two eyes of a user associated with the HMD;
• obtaining astigmatism measures of the two eyes;
• for each respective eye of the user, compensating the media content to generate respective compensated media content for a respective one of the two displays based on a respective astigmatism measure of the respective eye, wherein compensating the media content further includes adjusting one or more display parameters of:
• a resolution, a contrast level, a brightness level, and a refresh rate of at least one of the two displays;
• and
• rendering the compensated media content on the two displays of the HMD for the user.
