Abstract
A method for correcting vertical misalignment in a binocular display system comprises receiving a signal from a misalignment detection system comprising information related to vertical misalignment between a left eye display and a right eye display of the binocular display system. Image content displayed via the binocular display system is analyzed to determine a distance to a foreground virtual object in the image content at which a user is gazing. The method further comprises analyzing depth image data to determine a distance to a background object in a real-world environment. A vertical misalignment correction strategy is determined based at least upon the distance to the foreground virtual object and the distance to the background object. Based upon the vertical misalignment correction strategy, the binocular display system is controlled to correct the vertical misalignment.
