Method and system for calibrating a wearable heads-up display including integrated prescription lenses to produce aligned and color corrected images

A system comprising:

• a calibration station configured to secure an optical combiner of a head-mounted display (HMD) in an optical path between a micro-display of the HMD and a camera, wherein the calibration station includes a tunable correction unit disposed in the optical path and configured to be adjusted to correct defocus of light caused by the optical combiner, and wherein the camera is configured to capture at least one image of the corrected light output from the tunable correction unit to be used in calibrating the micro-display;
• and
• a calibration processor configured to receive the at least one captured image and generate a distortion model based on the at least one captured image, wherein the calibration processor is further configured to provide the distortion model to a display controller of the HMD to calibrate light projected from the micro-display to the optical combiner.
