A systematic review of myopia compensation techniques in HMDs

Jie Li, Carsten Stechert

ABSTRACT:

Myopia remains a major barrier to immersive VR use, causing blur and discomfort. This review compares software, hardware, and hybrid compensation approaches. Software methods offer flexible, low-cost enhancement but limited optical correction. Hardware solutions provide accurate adjustment at ergonomic cost. Hybrid systems combine adaptive optics and real-time rendering, showing promise for personalized correction. Key trade-offs and future design directions are outlined.
