IEC 62629-62-11:2022 specifies the standard measuring conditions and measurement methods for determining the optical properties of the image created by 3D display devices and virtual-image optics such as head-up displays. The virtual image refers to an image in which the 3D visual information is superimposed with the outside world. Eye-wear type displays are however beyond the scope of this document.
NOTE The meaning of a virtual image in optics is in general an image formed when the outgoing rays from a point on an object always diverge. With regard to display application, a virtual image can be interpreted according to a real viewing case. When an image is viewed, even though there is no physical display (monitor, TV, screen), in front of a person's eyes, it is called virtual image.
