Find your dominant eye

The RealWear HMT works best with your dominant eye. Eye dominance is the tendency to prefer visual input from one eye over the other. Here's some tips to help you figure out which eye is dominant.

1

Form a triangle with your hands placed together at arms-length.

2

With both eyes open, focus on any distant object centered in the triangle.

3

Maintain focus on the object centered in the triangle and close your right eye. If the object is still in the triangle, then you're left-eye dominant.

4

Maintain focus on the object centered in the triangle and close your left eye. If the object is still in the triangle, then you're right-eye dominant.

Position the HMT

1

Put the device on your head with the display pod positioned on the side, according to your eye dominance. Don't extend the display too far from your eye.

2

Keep the display as close to the eye as possible for the best viewing experience. Adjust the overhead strap so that the HMT rests horizontally, slightly above your ears. Move the HMT into position in a “Z” shape, below your line of vision.
