Measurement method for the determination of a value of a visual correction need for near vision of an individual

Disclosed is a measurement method for determining a value of a visual correction need for near vision of an individual in a natural posture for near vision. A recognizing limit distance is determined so that the individual is able to recognize at least one predetermined symbol farther than the limit distance relatively to the individual and unable to recognize the at least one predetermined symbol closer to the individual than the limit distance. A portable medium displaying the predetermined symbol is displaced in front of the face and eyes of the individual to change a frontal distance between his/her eyes and the portable medium and in which when a recognizing limit distance is detected by the individual, the limit distance is measured and the value of the visual correction need is determined from the measured limit distance, wherein the visual correction need includes an accommodation compensation need.

Display systems and methods for determining registration between a display and a user's eyes

A wearable device may include a head-mounted display (HMD) for rendering a three-dimensional (3D) virtual object which appears to be located in an ambient environment of a user of the display. The relative positions of the HMD and one or more eyes of the user may not be in desired positions to receive, or register, image information outputted by the HMD. For example, the HMD-to-eye alignment vary for different users and may change over time (e.g., as a given user moves around or as the HMD slips or otherwise becomes displaced). The wearable device may determine a relative position or alignment between the HMD and the user's eyes. Based on the relative positions, the wearable device may determine if it is properly fitted to the user, may provide feedback on the quality of the fit to the user, and may take actions to reduce or minimize effects of any misalignment.

METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE OPTICAL CENTER POINT OF THE LENSES OF SPECTACLES TO BE MANUFACTURED FOR A SPECTACLE WEARER

A method and a device are described for determining the optical center point of the lenses of spectacles to be manufactured for a spectacle wearer, whose head is imaged from the front using a digital camera (10), wherein the location of the pupils (16) and the interpupillary distance (20, 21) are determined with the aid of an image evaluation program to define the optical center point of the lenses.
