Abstract

The interest in Optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMDs) has been on the rise in the last years. One envisioned application scenario in medical applications is accurate overlay of information onto the patient. To do so, it is necessary to accurately align the virtual content with the real world for each user, also referred to as calibration of an OST-HMD. In this paper I discuss introduce different methods to calibrate an OST-HMD and discuss open questions that must be answered to accurate, interaction-free calibration.
