[DEMO] INDICA : Interaction-Free Display Calibration for Optical See-through Head-mounted Displays based on 3D Eye Localization

A correct spatial registration of Optical See-Through Head- Mounted Displays (OST-HMD) w.r.t. a user’s eye(s) is an essential problem for any AR application using the such HMDs (Fig. 1). Maintaining the correct registration demands frequent (re)calibrations for the end-users whenever they move the HMD on their head. Thus, a calibration technique should be simple and accurate for the universal, long-run use of the displays. This demonstration showcases INDICA , an automatic OSTHMD calibration approach presented in our previous work[1] and ISMAR 2014 paper [2]. The method calibrates the display to the user’s current eyeball position by combining online eye-position tracking with offline parameters. Visitors of our demonstration can try our both manual calibration and our interaction-free calibration on a customized OST-HMD.     «
