Abstract
Techniques are described for determining a user's unique depth perception in viewing virtual objects in virtual reality (VR) to make the VR experience more accurate and immersive for the user. The user can align a virtual image the user sees with a real-world image behind the virtual image to provide input indicating the user's depth perception. Depth perception parameters can then be determined from that for subsequently rendering VR objects to that user.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
- presenting, on a display, an image related to determining a user's depth perception;
- receiving a user input adjusting an appearance of the image as presented on the display, wherein the user input comprises changing a scale of the image as presented on the display, rotating an orientation of the image as presented on the display, or shifting a virtual position of the image as presented on the display;
- based on the user input adjusting the appearance of the image as presented on the display, determining at least one offset for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) object;
- and
- applying the at least one offset to render the 3D object.

An apparatus comprising:
- at least one non-transitory computer medium storing instructions executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- presenting, on a display, an image;
- receiving a user input adjusting an appearance of the image as presented on the display, wherein the user input comprises changing a scale of the image as presented on the display, rotating an orientation of the image as presented on the display, or shifting a virtual position of the image as presented on the display;
- and
- based on the user input adjusting the appearance of the image as presented on the display, determining at least one parameter for rendering a virtual three-dimensional (3D) object.
