Does the OR account for pupillary distance? At the 5th percentile, the pupillary distance for women is 2mm smaller than men and at the 95th percentile, it's a 5mm difference. With that in mind, an OR for women may need to be designed to account for a smaller pupillary distance.

What about children? How likely are they to experience nausea? Anyone with kids and an OR dev kit have anecdotal data here?

Yes, pretty sure that's configurable.

Many games don't, though. I know the TF2 Oculus Rift integration at one point had a calibrator for that. Last I heard they were pushing for a standalone calibrator that games could all pull info from, but I don't know what came of that.


Is this calibration common between users? i.e. is it likely that a girl using an OR after a guy will calibrate the device for her pupillary distance?
