A virtual, augmented, or mixed reality display system includes a display configured to display virtual, augmented, or mixed reality image data, the display including one or more optical components which introduce optical distortions or aberrations to the image data. The system also includes a display controller configured to provide the image data to the display. The display controller includes memory for storing optical distortion correction information, and one or more processing elements to at least partially correct the image data for the optical distortions or aberrations using the optical distortion correction information.
