HMD Geometry Database Changelog

April 20, 2025

  • PSVR2 (added)
  • Fixed the HAM area calculation in hmdq and published corrected values here

Until now the HAM area calculation assumed that all HAMs were specified inside [(0,0), (1,1)] rectangle and did not check it. Thus calculating the total mesh area as a plain sum of all triangles’ areas.

Some HAMs however overlap slightly the nominal rectangle and the sum of all triangles’ areas gives slightly higher value. I thought originally the error would be small, but it turned out that the difference is perceivable.

The affected headsets which were reported in HMDGDB with slightly bigger HAM area, are following:

Oculus Rift CV1 - original: 14.07 %, corrected: 10.03 %
Oculus Rift S   - original: 11.26 %, corrected:  9.25 %
Oculus Quest    - original:  5.69 %, corrected:  3.68 %
Oculus Quest 2  - original:  9.13 %, corrected:  7.12 %
Meta Quest Pro  - original: 14.11 %, corrected: 11.92 %
Meta Quest 3    - original: 12.89 %, corrected: 10.66 %

The HMDGDB has been updated to show the correct values now.
