Visual perception on virtual reality head-mounted displays (VR HMDs) involves human vision in the imaging pipeline. Image quality evaluation of VR HMDs may need to be expanded from optical bench testing by incorporating human visual perception. In this study, we implement a 5-degree-of-freedom (5DoF...
