Definition

Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the centers of the pupils of the left and right eyes. In VR, correctly adjusting the headset’s lens spacing to match the user’s IPD is crucial for visual comfort and clarity.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

The Quest 3 offers precise manual adjustment for IPD, a significant advantage over the fixed presets on the Quest 3S, which can lead to eye strain and visual distortion if not matched.
