Self-adjusting headset
A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing adjustments on a virtual reality (VR) headset. A user preference is determined as to a clamping force and an interpupillary distance (IPD) as applied to the VR headset. The user preferences are stored in a unique user profile. Adjustments are performed on the VR headset as to clamping force and IPD.
1. A computer-implementable method of performing adjustments on a virtual reality (VR) headset comprising:
determining a user preference as to clamping force of the head of the user and interpupillary distance (IPD) of the VR headset;
storing the user preference in a user profile in a system memory;
pulling up the user profile from the system memory when an iris scan of the user is performed;
adjusting the clamping force using a wire connected to a stepper motor of the VR headset; and
adjusting the IPD of the VR headset.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user is identified by an iris scan performed by cameras integrated in the VR headset.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining is based on adjustments performed on an initial use of the VR headset by the user.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adjusting the clamping force implements sensors, a wire retention system, and motor that increase the force of a wire on the wire retention based on the user preference.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the IPD of the VR headset implements a rack and pinion system comprising a motor that adjust optical engines to align with pupils of the user based on IPD preference.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising aligning pupils of the user when adjusting the IPD of the VR headset.
7. The method of claim 1 further comprising determining if the VR headset is picked up through an accelerometer.
8. A system comprising:
a processor;
a data bus coupled to the processor; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
determining a user preference as to clamping force of the head of the user and interpupillary distance (IPD) of the VR headset;
storing the user preference in a user profile in a system memory;
pulling up the user profile from the system memory when an iris scan of the user is performed;
adjusting the clamping force using a wire connected to a stepper motor of the VR headset; and
adjusting the IPD of the VR headset.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the user is identified by an iris scan performed by cameras integrated in the VR headset.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the determining is based on adjustments performed on an initial use of the VR headset by the user.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the adjusting the clamping force implements sensors, a wire retention system, and motor that increase the force of a wire on the wire retention based on the user preference.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the IPD of the VR headset implements a rack and pinion system comprising a motor that adjust optical engines to align with pupils of the user based on IPD preference.
13. The system of claim 8 further comprising aligning pupils of the user when adjusting the IPD of the VR headset.
14. The system of claim 8 further comprising determining if the VR headset is picked up through an accelerometer.
15. A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
determining a user preference as to clamping force of the head of the user and interpupillary distance (IPD) of the VR headset;
storing the user preference in a user profile in a system memory;
pulling up the user profile form the system memory when an iris scan of the user is performed;
adjusting the clamping force using a wire connected to a stepper motor of the VR headset; and
adjusting the IPD of the VR headset.
16. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the user is identified by an iris scan performed by cameras integrated in the VR headset.
17. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the adjusting the clamping force implements sensors, a wire retention system, and motor that increase the force of a wire on the wire retention based on the user preference.
18. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the IPD of the VR headset implements a rack and pinion system comprising a motor that adjust optical engines to align with pupils of the user based on IPD preference.
19. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 further comprising aligning pupils of the user when adjusting the IPD of the VR headset.
20. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 further comprising determining if the VR headset is picked up through an accelerometer.
