Systems and methods for operating a head-mounted display system based on user identity
Systems and methods for depth plane selection in display system such as augmented reality display systems, including mixed reality display systems, are disclosed. A display(s) may present virtual image content via image light to an eye(s) of a user. The display(s) may output the image light to the eye(s) of the user, the image light to have different amounts of wavefront divergence corresponding to different depth planes at different distances away from the user. A camera(s) may capture images of the eye(s). An indication may be generated based on obtained images of the eye(s), indicating whether the user is identified. The display(s) may be controlled to output the image light to the eye(s) of the user, the image light to have the different amounts of wavefront divergence based at least in part on the generated indication indicating whether the user is identified.
1. A wearable system comprising:
a display configured to present virtual image content to an eye of a user;
a camera configured to capture an image of the eye of the user; and

determine, based on the captured image, whether the user is a registered user; and
present the virtual image content, via the display, to the eye of the user, wherein:
said presenting the virtual image content comprises presenting image light to the eye of the user, the image light having an amount of wavefront divergence corresponding to a depth plane at a distance from the user,
the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on an identity of the user, and
in accordance with a determination that the user is not a registered user, the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on default settings.
2. The wearable system of claim 1 , wherein said determining whether the user is a registered user comprises performing one or more of an iris scanning operation and an iris authentication operation.
3. The wearable system of claim 1 , wherein said determining whether the user is a registered user comprises determining the identity of the user.
4. The wearable system of claim 1 , wherein:
in accordance with a determination that the user is a registered user, the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on settings associated with the registered user.
5. The wearable system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
in accordance with the determination that the user is not a registered user:
perform one or more of registering the user via iris authentication and generating a calibration profile for the user;
determine settings for the user based at least in part on information obtained via the one or more of said registering the user and said generating the calibration profile; and
determine the amount of wavefront divergence based at least in part on the settings determined for the user.
6. The wearable system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
present, via the display, a virtual target to the user, concurrently with said capturing the image of the eye via the camera.
7. The wearable system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
capture, via the camera, a second image of the eye of the user, wherein whether the user is a registered user is determined further based on the second image.
8. A method comprising:
capturing, via a camera of a wearable system, an image of an eye of a user;
determining, based on the captured image, whether the user is a registered user; and
presenting virtual image content, via a display of the wearable system, to the eye of the user, wherein:
said presenting the virtual image content comprises presenting image light to the eye of the user, the image light having an amount of wavefront divergence corresponding to a depth plane at a distance from the user,
the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on an identity of the user, and
in accordance with a determination that the user is not a registered user, the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on default settings.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein said determining whether the user is a registered user comprises performing one or more of an iris scanning operation and an iris authentication operation.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein said determining whether the user is a registered user comprises determining the identity of the user.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein:
in accordance with a determination that the user is a registered user, the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on settings associated with the registered user.
12. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
in accordance with the determination that the user is not a registered user:
performing one or more of registering the user via iris authentication and generating a calibration profile for the user;
determining settings for the user based at least in part on information obtained via the one or more of said registering the user and said generating the calibration profile; and
determining the amount of wavefront divergence based at least in part on the settings determined for the user.
13. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
presenting, via the display, a virtual target to the user, concurrently with said capturing the image of the eye via the camera.
14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
capturing, via the camera, a second image of the eye of the user, wherein whether the user is a registered user is determined further based on the second image.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wearable system, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
capturing, via a camera of the wearable system, an image of an eye of a user;
determining, based on the captured image, whether the user is a registered user; and
presenting virtual image content, via a display of the wearable system, to the eye of the user, wherein:
said presenting the virtual image content comprises presenting image light to the eye of the user, the image light having an amount of wavefront divergence corresponding to a depth plane at a distance from the user,
the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on an identity of the user, and
in accordance with a determination that the user is not a registered user, the amount of wavefront divergence is determined based at least in part on default settings.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein said determining whether the user is a registered user comprises performing one or more of an iris scanning operation and an iris authentication operation.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein said determining whether the user is a registered user comprises determining the identity of the user.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:
in accordance with the determination that the user is not a registered user:
performing one or more of registering the user via iris authentication and generating a calibration profile for the user;
determining settings for the user based at least in part on information obtained via the one or more of said registering the user and said generating the calibration profile; and
determining the amount of wavefront divergence based at least in part on the settings determined for the user.
