Abstract

A method includes displaying a high contrast image on a display screen; and projecting the high contrast image through a Fresnel lens to provide a cue for adjusting a position of the Fresnel lens. Also disclosed is a device for determining and/or adjusting an offset of a Fresnel lens. The device includes a Fresnel lens and a display screen configured to project a high contrast image through the Fresnel lens. Further disclosed is a method for adjusting a position of a Fresnel lens. The method includes receiving a projection of a high contrast image transmitted through a Fresnel lens; and adjusting a position of the Fresnel lens based on the projection of the high contrast image.
