Abstract

Introduced herein are a variety of techniques for displaying virtual and augmented reality content to a user through head-mounted display (HMD). The techniques described herein can be used to improve the effectiveness of the HMD, as well as general experience and comfort of a user of the HMD. For example, a binocular HMD system could modify the overlap of digital content in real-time so that the two separate images can be viewed without visual discomfort. The HMD system could also present visual stabilizers to each eye allow the user to more easily visually align the two separate images when viewed together. Techniques such as these decrease the eye fatigue and strain experienced by the user when viewing virtual or augmented reality content on HMDs.
