How to set the Focus and IPD
Each user should set the Focus and IPD appropriately to fully utilize the capabilities of the XTAL headset.
- Start any of the XTAL demos or compatible applications
- Make sure that the headset is correctly positioned on your head
- it shouldn’t be too low or too high – you can adjust this with the top velcro strap (or with the top wheel for older XTAL models)
- fasten the head strap firmly with the wheel on the back
- you can use the ‘Calibrate headset position’ function to help you with this process (see Settings – Headset – Eyes page in VRG Tool)
- Change the focus (with the wheels on the sides of the headset) so the image is as sharp as possible [only available for the XTAL 8k and XTAL 5k headsets] – see Focus page for details
- Start the Auto IPD calibration
- click on ‘Auto IPD’ icon in the Quick Settings section
- or use the ‘Auto IPD’ button on the Settings – Headset – Eyes page
- Wait until the Auto IPD process finishes
- The IPD motors will move the lenses to the middle position
- You will see a calibration object, which you should focus on
- The IPD cameras will detect your eyes
- The IPD motors will move the lenses to the appropriate position corresponding with your IPD distance
- The calibration object will disappear again
- Alternatively, you can also use the manual sliders on the Settings – Headset – Eyes page to change the IPD to specific values.
