1. A system for the calculation of the Interpupillary Distance, defined as the distance between the center of the left pupil (304) and the center of the right pupil (305) of a User, comprising:
- a) a processor that controls all other resources, performs automatic processing of data acquired by the said camera and manages the results and user interface;
b) a planar screen (200)(300)(400)(500) where images can be visualized;
c) a camera (201)(301)(401)(501) which acquires images;
d) a structure that rigidly attaches the said camera and said screen;
e) a planar calibration object (502) with a printed calibration pattern used to calibrate or estimate the geometric relation between the said camera and the said screen;
(f) a marker (203)(303), drawn in or placed above the said screen, whose function is to allow the alignment of the User pupils with the shape of a line segment of white color or any other contrasting color with the black background of said screen, superimposed over said screen or drawn by the system to appear on said screen, wherein the shape of said marker can be a line segment, two points to align with the pupil centers, two circumferences, or any other shape that allows the alignment of the pupils in a straight line;
g) a cover surface of said screen (200)(300)(400)(500) with reflective property, which working as a mirror, allows said User to see the reflection of his face (202) (203) and simultaneously, when the pupils are aligned with the said marker, restricts geometrically the location of the pupils and their reflection to a unique plane P (308) perpendicular to the said screen containing the said marker.

Abstract
The present invention is in the technical fields of optics and ophthalmology. The present invention relates to a system for the measuring of the interpupillary distance, defined as the distance between the left pupil center and the right pupil center, not requiring the use of any artefact or additional objects on the person'"'"'s face, and using a conventional electronic device comprising a processor, a camera (201) and a display with high reflectivity (200).
