Three-dimensional image calibration and presentation for stereoscopic imaging systems such as eyewear including a first camera and a second camera is described. The calibration and presentation includes obtaining a calibration offset using vanishing points obtained from images captured by a first camera and a second camera to accommodate rotation of the first and second cameras with respect to one another, adjusting a three-dimensional rendering offset by the obtained calibration offset, and presenting the stereoscopic images using the three dimension rendering offset.

A display method of an image is disclosed. A position of a vergence surface of a user is obtained through a gaze tracking device. An image is provided by a display, the image is located at a virtual image surface, and the image has an offset between different view directions. A controller is coupled to the gaze tracking device and the display. The controller receives an information of the position of the vergence surface obtained through the gaze tracking device, performs an algorithm processing according to the information to obtain the offset, and transmits a display information including the offset to the display. An eye of the user focuses on an accommodation surface when viewing the image, and a position of the accommodation surface is different from a position of the virtual image surface.

A partial electronic see-through HMD includes one or more subassemblies that occlude a central portion of a user's field of view (the peripheral portions of the user's field of view may remain unobstructed). Each subassembly includes an outward facing camera, a display, and an eyepiece. Images of the occluded central zone are captured by the camera and projected to the user via the display and eyepiece. The projected images can also include electronic information, such as AR image overlays. The peripheral zones are not occluded and remain directly viewable by the user. Thus, the projected images complete (or partially complete) the user's FOV of the external environment between the peripheral zones and may provide additional electronic information to the user.

A method for displaying virtual content to a user, the method includes determining an accommodation of the user's eyes. The method also includes delivering, through a first waveguide of a stack of waveguides, light rays having a first wavefront curvature based at least in part on the determined accommodation, wherein the first wavefront curvature corresponds to a focal distance of the determined accommodation. The method further includes delivering, through a second waveguide of the stack of waveguides, light rays having a second wavefront curvature, the second wavefront curvature associated with a predetermined margin of the focal distance of the determined accommodation.

A virtual or augmented reality display system that controls power inputs to the display system as a function of image data. Image data itself is made of a plurality of image data frames, each with constituent color components of, and depth planes for displaying on, rendered content. Light sources or spatial light modulators to relay illumination from the light sources may receive signals from a display controlled to adjust a power setting to the light source or spatial light modulator based on control information embedded in an image data frame.

An image processing method includes: acquiring a fixation point position on a respective screen viewed by each of dominant eye(s); determining a fixation area of a left-eye screen and a fixation area of a right-eye screen according to fixation point position(s) corresponding to the dominant eye(s); rendering a first part of a left-eye image to be displayed on the left-eye screen at a first resolution, and rendering a second part of the left-eye image at a second resolution; rendering a first part of a right-eye image to be displayed on the right-eye screen at a third resolution, and rendering a second part of the right-eye image at a fourth resolution. A resolution of an image to be displayed in a fixation area of the respective screen is greater than resolutions of images to be displayed in other areas of the left-eye screen and the right-eye screen.
