NEAR-EYE OPTIC POSITIONING IN DISPLAY DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method of detecting eye location for a head-mounted display system, the method comprising:
- directing positioning light to an eye of a user;
detecting the positioning light reflected from the eye of the user;
determining a distance between the eye and a near-eye optic of the head-mounted display system based on attributes of the detected positioning light; and
providing feedback for adjusting the distance between the eye and the near-eye optic.

Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for adjusting alignment of a near-eye optic of a see-through head-mounted display system. In one embodiment, a method of detecting eye location for a head-mounted display system includes directing positioning light to an eye of a user and detecting the positioning light reflected from the eye of the user. The method further includes determining a distance between the eye and a near-eye optic of the head-mounted display system based on attributes of the detected positioning light, and providing feedback for adjusting the distance between the eye and the near-eye optic.
