A head-mounted display device includes a see-though display providing both eyes of a user with a view of a physical object, a processor, and a non-volatile storage device holding instructions executable by the processor to: display an image that corresponds to the physical object to a first eye of the user at an offset to the physical object; display blocking light to a second eye of the user; in response to alignment user input, move a position of the image relative to the physical object; in response to completion user input, determine the inter-pupillary distance of the user; and calibrate the head-mounted display device based on the inter-pupillary distance.

Determining inter-pupillary distance

A head-mounted display device is disclosed that includes an at least partially see-though display, a processor, and a non-volatile storage device holding instructions executable by the processor to: select an image that corresponds to a physical object viewable by the user; display the image at a perceived offset to the physical object; in response to alignment user input, move a perceived position of the image relative to the physical object; output an instruction to provide completion user input when the image appears to align with the physical object; when the completion user input is received, determine the inter-pupillary distance of the user; and calibrate the head mounted display device based on the inter-pupillary distance.

Rendering potential collisions between virtual objects and physical objects if animations are implemented. A method includes receiving user input selecting a virtual object to be animated. The method further includes receiving user input selecting an animation path for the virtual object. The method further includes receiving user input placing the virtual object to be animated and the animation path in an environment including physical objects. The method further includes, prior to animating the virtual object, displaying the virtual object and the animation path in a fashion that shows the interaction of the virtual object with one or more physical objects in the environment.
