P‐87: A Novel Method for Measuring Optical Performance of AR/VR Displays

Abstract

The measurement of optical performance such as luminance, chromaticity for augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) display is significantly different from that of conventional real display. The spatial coordinates of the virtual image need to be described with a V‐H angular coordinate system. The image beam to be measured at each viewing field comes through exit pupil of the virtual imaging device, which is difficult for the measurement of the virtual image by traditional luminance meters.In this paper, we proposed a new optical measurement system which simulates the imaging mechanism of the human eye. A 5mm aperture is placed in front of the focal point of the imaging lens of the luminance meter, which works as the entrance pupil of the luminance meter and is fit to inside of the exit pupil of the virtual imaging device, and the field of view (FOV) keep constant at different imaging distances. The combination of a spectrometer and a CCD imaging device is equipped to determine the optical and image parameters of AR/VR displays.
