Abstract

The colorimetric characterization of the two virtual reality headsets, namely, HTC and Oculus are compared to each other. In order to do that, first, a colorimeter is used to measure the colorimetric values of the primary ramps in a darkened and controlled environment. It is observed that the two headsets behave more or less the same with HTC outputting an overall higher level of luminance and having more consistent right and left displays. Weighted regression is also used as a means to characterize the devices and the results are compared to the traditional method of colorimetric characterization showing the superiority of the weighted regression in this case.
