Android (operating system)

Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets.

Anthropometry

Anthropometry refers to the measurement of the human individual.

See Pupillary distance and Anthropometry

Binoculars

Binoculars or field glasses are two refracting telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point in the same direction, allowing the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects.

British Columbia

British Columbia (commonly abbreviated as BC) is the westernmost province of Canada.

Eye care professional

An eye care professional is an individual who provides a service related to the eyes or vision. Pupillary distance and eye care professional are ophthalmology and optometry.

See Pupillary distance and Eye care professional

Eye examination

An eye examination is a series of tests performed to assess vision and ability to focus on and discern objects. Pupillary distance and eye examination are optometry.

See Pupillary distance and Eye examination

Eye strain

Eye strain, also known as asthenopia (from Greek a-sthen-opia, ἀσθενωπία), is a common eye condition that manifests through non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain in or around the eyes, blurred vision, headache, and occasional double vision.

See Pupillary distance and Eye strain

Eyeglass prescription

An eyeglass prescription is an order written by an eyewear prescriber, such as an optometrist, that specifies the value of all parameters the prescriber has deemed necessary to construct and/or dispense corrective lenses appropriate for a patient. Pupillary distance and eyeglass prescription are ophthalmology and optometry.

Eyepiece

An eyepiece, or ocular lens, is a type of lens that is attached to a variety of optical devices such as telescopes and microscopes.

See Pupillary distance and Eyepiece

Glasses

Glasses, also known as eyeglasses and spectacles, are vision eyewear with clear or tinted lenses mounted in a frame that holds them in front of a person's eyes, typically utilizing a bridge over the nose and hinged arms, known as temples or temple pieces, that rest over the ears. Pupillary distance and Glasses are ophthalmology.

Haploscope

A haploscope is an optical device for presenting one image to one eye and another image to the other eye.

See Pupillary distance and Haploscope

Head-mounted display

A head-mounted display (HMD) is a display device, worn on the head or as part of a helmet (see helmet-mounted display for aviation applications), that has a small display optic in front of one (monocular HMD) or each eye (binocular HMD). Pupillary distance and head-mounted display are display technology.

See Pupillary distance and Head-mounted display

Helmet-mounted display

A helmet-mounted display (HMD) is a headworn device that uses displays and optics to project imagery and/or symbology to the eyes. Pupillary distance and helmet-mounted display are display technology.

See Pupillary distance and Helmet-mounted display

IOS

iOS (formerly iPhone OS) is a mobile operating system developed by Apple exclusively for its smartphones.

See Pupillary distance and IOS

Lens

A lens is a transmissive optical device that focuses or disperses a light beam by means of refraction.

See Pupillary distance and Lens

The median of a set of numbers is the value separating the higher half from the lower half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution.

Millimetre

Different lengths as in respect to the electromagnetic spectrum, measured by the metre and its derived scales. The microwave is between 1 meter to 1 '''millimeter'''. The millimetre (international spelling; SI unit symbol mm) or millimeter (American spelling) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousandth of a metre, which is the SI base unit of length.

See Pupillary distance and Millimetre

Night-vision device

A night-vision device (NVD), also known as a night optical/observation device (NOD) or night-vision goggle (NVG), is an optoelectronic device that allows visualization of images in low levels of light, improving the user's night vision.

See Pupillary distance and Night-vision device

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a clinical and surgical specialty within medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of eye disorders.

See Pupillary distance and Ophthalmology

Optician

An optician is an individual who fits eyeglasses or contact lenses by filling a refractive prescription from an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

See Pupillary distance and Optician

Optometry

Optometry is a specialized health care profession that involves examining the eyes and related structures for defects or abnormalities.

See Pupillary distance and Optometry

Pupilometer

Pupillometer, also spelled pupilometer, is a medical device intended to measure by reflected light the size of the pupil of the eye.

See Pupillary distance and Pupilometer

Range imaging

Range imaging is the name for a collection of techniques that are used to produce a 2D image showing the distance to points in a scene from a specific point, normally associated with some type of sensor device.

See Pupillary distance and Range imaging

Standard deviation

In statistics, the standard deviation is a measure of the amount of variation of a random variable expected about its mean.

See Pupillary distance and Standard deviation

Stereo microscope

The stereo, stereoscopic or dissecting microscope is an optical microscope variant designed for low magnification observation of a sample, typically using light reflected from the surface of an object rather than transmitted through it.

See Pupillary distance and Stereo microscope

Stereoscopy

Stereoscopy (also called stereoscopics, or stereo imaging) is a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision.

See Pupillary distance and Stereoscopy

United States Department of Defense

The United States Department of Defense (DoD, USDOD, or DOD) is an executive branch department of the federal government of the United States charged with coordinating and supervising all agencies and functions of the U.S. government directly related to national security and the United States Armed Forces.

Virtual reality headset

A virtual reality headset (or VR headset) is a head-mounted device that uses 3D near-eye displays and positional tracking to provide a virtual reality environment for the user.
