Headset Adjustments ​

Slide Eye Camera ​

The eye camera arm slides in and out of the headset frame. You can slide the eye camera arm along the track.

Rotate Eye Camera ​

The eye camera arm is connected to the eye camera via the ball joint. You can rotate about its ball joint. There are 6 degrees of freedom to the ball joint. Try twisting and hinging movements to get a good image of the eye.

Rotate World Camera ​

You can rotate the world camera up and down to align with your FOV.

Ball Joint Set Screw ​

You can adjust the set screw to control the movement of the eye camera about the ball joint.

We recommend setting the set screw so that you can still move the eye camera by hand but not so loose that the eye camera moves when moving the head.

You can also tighten the set screw to fix the eye camera in place.

Focus Cameras ​

Focus World Camera ​

Set the focus for the distance at which you will be calibrating by rotating the camera lens.

No Focus 200Hz Eye Camera ​

Focus 120Hz Eye Camera ​

If you have a 120Hz eye camera, make sure the eye camera is in focus. Twist the lens focus ring of the eye camera with your fingers or lens adjuster tool to bring the eye camera into focus.

Additional Parts ​

World Camera Lens ​

The high speed world camera comes with two lenses. A narrow angle lens and a wide angle lens. The default lens is the wide angle lens. Check out the camera field of view table for exact FOV measurements for each lens at different resolutions.

The world camera lens are interchangeable, so you can swap between the two lenses provided for wide angle or narrow angle field of view.

Eye Camera Arm Extender ​

If you need to adjust the eye cameras beyond the built in adjustment range, you can use the orange arm extenders that are shipped with your Pupil headset.

Steps:

1. Unplug your eye camera.
2. Slide the existing eye camera arm off the headset.
3. Slide the arm extender onto the triangular mount rail on the headset frame.

The eye camera arm extender works for all existing 120 and 200Hz systems.
