Method and device for improved interpupillary distance measurement

Last updated:

Abstract:

In one implementation, a method includes: determining an interpupillary distance (IPD) measurement for a user based on a function of depth data obtained by the depth sensor and image data obtained by the image sensor; and calibrating a head-mounted device (HMD) provided to deliver augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) content by setting one or more presentation parameters of the HMD based on the IPD measurement in order to tailor one or more AR/VR displays of the HMD to a field-of-view of the user.
