I really like the suggestion of looking at the HMD’s faceplate and having it measure your IPD. I think that’s a great idea! As they say, it’s hard to adjust it

I really like the suggestion of looking at the HMD’s faceplate and having it measure your IPD. I think that’s a great idea!
As they say, it’s hard to adjust it optically by moving the lenses because there’s a wide range of values that give a focused image - but the wrong values will result in nausea over time.
- javchz 3y agoI recently went from a quest 2 (limited 3 IPD settings) to a pico 4 (that has gradual fine adjustment) and makes a huge difference. Specially in the headache and nausea department. Even with pancake optic artifacts, just that setting alone makes a huge difference in don't feeling dizzy in rapid movements.
- thendrill 3y agoThe varjo xr headsets use the eye trackers to auto adjust the IPD mechanically the moment you put the headset on. The problem is it takes a second or two and it fails.... Often, so you need to repeat the (take on and off). It makes development and multi person demos into a pain of "put it in and off again it will work"
- nomel 3y agoThe Quest Pro does the same, with the fit adjustment app.
- two_handfuls 3y agoYes I agree something like this is probably the future, once it’s more reliable and more affordable. For now only expensive headsets have the hardware for this. The solution proposed in the article works with the hardware in more affordable headsets which makes it intriguing.
