  • Employed single image capture with the simulated eye to represent display performance.
  • Combined a minimum of two image captures to determine the complete 3D eyebox geometry.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved rapid and accurate measurement of AR/VR eyeboxes.
    • The proposed method's accuracy is comparable to slower, conventional techniques.
    • Demonstrated the ability to characterize eyewear performance from a human user's perspective.

    Conclusions:

    • The new method offers a significantly faster and more efficient way to measure eyebox performance.
    • This approach provides accurate geometric data of the eyebox using minimal image captures.
    • The technique holds potential as a standardized metrology tool for AR/VR display evaluation.
