- 3. Using Technology to Stimulate Senses • Simulate output • E.g. simulate real scene • Map output to devices • Graphics to HMD • Use devices to stimulate the senses • HMD stimulates eyes Visual Simulation 3D Graphics HMD Vision System Brain Example: Visual Simulation Human-Machine Interface

- 10. Simple Magnifier HMD Design p q Eyepiece (one or more lenses) Display (Image Source) Eye f Image 1/p + 1/q = 1/f where p = object distance (distance from image source to eyepiece) q = image distance (distance of image from the lens) f = focal length of the lens
- 12. Focal Length and Diopter Focal Length - The distance from the surface of a lens at which rays of light converge. Diopter - The power of a lens. Equal to 1/ (focal length of the lens measured in meters)
- 13. Field of View Monocular FOV is the angular subtense (usually expressed in degrees) of the displayed image as measured from the pupil of one eye. Total FOV is the total angular size of the displayed image visible to both eyes. Binocular(or stereoscopic) FOV refers to the part of the displayed image visible to both eyes. FOV may be measured horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
- 14. Ocularity • Monocular - HMD image goes to only one eye. • Bioccular - Same HMD image to both eyes. • Binocular (stereoscopic) - Different but matched images to each eye.
- 15. Interpupillary Distance (IPD) ! IPD is the horizontal distance between a user's eyes. ! IPD is the distance between the two optical axes in a binocular view system.
- 16. Vignetting and Eye Relief Vignetting • The blocking or redirecting of light rays as they pass through the optical system. Eye Relief Distance • Distance from the last optical surface in the HMD optical system to the front surface of the eye.
- 17. LEEP Optics • Large Expanse Extra Perspective • Very wide FOV for stereoscopic images • Higher resolution in the middle of FOV • Lower resolution on the periphery • Pincushion distortion
- 18. LEEP Optics • Wide field of view optical design
- 19. Fresnel Lens • A lens consisting of a concentric series of simple lens sections • Result is a thin lens with a short focal length and large diameter • More even resolution distribution • Less distortion • from lanternroom.com

- 21. Distortion in Lens Optics A rectangle Maps to this
- 22. Example Distortion Oculus Rift DK2 HTC Vive
- 23. To Correct for Distortion • Must predistort image • This is a pixel-based distortion • Graphics rendering uses linear interpolation! • Too slow on most systems • Use shader programming
- 25. HMD Design Trade-offs • Resolution vs field of view • As FOV increases, resolution decreases for fixed pixels • Eye box vs field of view • Larger eye box limits field of view • Size, Weight and Power vs everything else vs.
- 26. The Perfect HMD • “Oakley look” . i.e., thin & small optics • Low cost & small image generators (OLED, LCOS, …) • Wide field of view 30 o to 110 o full diagonal field • Large eye box ~10 mm diameter, for eye ball movement • Large eye relief > 20 mm, for lash clearance and glasses • High resolution ~ SXGA (1280 x 1024) or higher • Low distortion < 2% • Bright hundreds of Cd/m2 • Artifact free; no “dirty windows” ; no raster; no sunlight scattering • Low weight • Other: eye tracking; battery life; connectivity….
- 27. Oculus Rift • Cost: $599 USD • FOV: 110 o Horizontal • Refresh rate: 90 Hz • Resolution 1080x1200/eye • 3 DOF orientation tracking • 3 axis positional tracking
