Abstract

The production of a VR headset is a complex process with several steps. At each step, various measurements are taken to verify quality or to characterise the component for later use. The visual system is the key component of a VR headset and consists in general of a microdisplay and an optical lens, which form the near eye display. In a first step, the properties like luminance and chromaticity of the microdisplay are determined. In the second step, the properties like distortion of the near eye display as combination of microdisplay and lens are measured. In the last step, the final VR headset is characterised for calibration and quality control. Exemplary measurements are shown for each step using imaging and spot light measuring devices.
