Abstract
Techniques are described for calibrating vertical binocular disparity (VBD) in optical see-through augmented reality displays using two independent measurements rather than direct perceptual display-to-background alignment. A background VBD (bg_vbd) for the see-through optical path and a display-to-display VBD (display_vbd) between left and right display channels are measured, and a correction offset is computed as offset = bg_vbd - display_vbd. The offset is applied to one or both display channels to reduce relative VBD between displayed content and background toward approximately zero. A statistical framework assesses calibration quality by propagating measurement uncertainties (e.g., s_offset = sqrt(s_bg^2 + s_display^2)), optionally including display quantization based on pixels-per-degree, and estimating a probability that residual relative VBD exceeds a perceptual breakpoint tolerance using analytical and Monte Carlo tiers, including population variability of the breakpoint. Breakeven analysis for method selection is also described.
