Abstract
The invention provides a viewing system including an augmented reality system that generates a visual presentation to a user based at least in part on an IPD of the user, and an IPD compensator that adjusts the visual presentation based on an IPD compensation factor.
Claims17
A viewing system method:
- detecting, with an interpupillary distance (IPD) detector, a plurality of IPD's of a user to generate IPD data that includes a plurality of IPD values;
- detecting, with a head movement detector device, movement of a head of a user to generate head movement data that includes a plurality of head positions based on movement of the head of the user;
- generating, with a correlator connected to the IPD detector and the head movement detector device, a correlation between the IPD data and the head movement data such that different head positions have different associated respective IPD compensation factors;
- storing, with a storing system, being a software component executable by a processor, connected to the correlator, the correlation;
- generating, with an augmented reality system having a light projector, a visual presentation to a user based at least in part on an IPD of the user;
- calculating, with an IPD compensation factor calculator connected to the head movement detector device, a select IPD compensation factor based on the head movement data such that different head positions have different associated respective IPD compensation factors;
- and
- adjusting, with an IPD compensator, the visual representation based on the select IPD compensation factor.

A viewing method, comprising:
- generating, with an augmented reality system having a light projector, a visual presentation to a user based at least in part on an interpupillary distance (IPD) of the user;
- detecting, with a head movement detector device, movement of a head of a user and generate head movement data based on movement of the head of the user;
- detecting, with an IPD detector, an IPD of a user and generate IPD data;
- generating, with a correlator connected to the IPD detector and the head movement detector device, a correlation between the IPD data and the head movement data such that different head positions have different associated respective IPD compensation factors;
- storing, with a storing system, being a software component executable by a processor, connected to the correlator to store the correlation;
- calculating, with an IPD compensation factor calculator connected to the head movement detector device, and operable to calculate a select IPD compensation factor based on the head movement data and the correlation_such that different head positions have different associated respective IPD compensation factors;
- and
- adjusting, with an IPD compensator, the visual presentation based on the select IPD compensation factor.
