  • DEVICE SEAL LIGHT LEAKAGE CORRECTION
    Publication number: 20260094252
    Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that predict a proper light seal fit for a head mounted device (HMD) to reduce external light leakage into the HMD. For example, a process may include obtaining first images of a portion of a face of a user while the user is wearing the HMD and initial light seal contacts at least some perimeter regions around the portion of the face such that the HMD forms an enclosed area between the HMD and the portion of the face. Based on the first images illumination characteristics may be identified on the portion of the face corresponding to external light entering the enclosed area via one or more light source leakage regions between the face and the initial light seal. Based on the identified illumination characteristics one or more parameters for an adjusted light seal for the user may be determined.
