Methods for the Assessment of Head-Mounted Displays in Visual Space

چکیده
Common techniques of lens design lead to image quality assessment in the plane of the miniature display of a headmounted display (HMD) instead of image quality in visual space as expected from a usability point of view. In this paper, we present an analysis of HMD performance in visual space including MTF, accommodation, astigmatism, and transverse color smear.

Optical assessment of head-mounted displays in visual space.
The optics of head-mounted displays (HMDs) is designed from the pupil of the eye to the miniature display, and the optics is thus commonly solely assessed in the plane of the miniature display. Such assessment does not provide information that usefully interfaces with task-based performance metrics. We present a comprehensive framework for the assessment of the optics of HMDs in visual space, w...
متن کاملMethodology for the Iterative Evaluation of Prototype Head-Mounted Displays in Virtual Environments: Visual Acuity Metrics
Head-mounted display design is an iterative process. As such, a standardized usercentered assessment protocol of head-mounted performance during each phase of prototype development should be employed. In this paper, we first describe a methodology for assessing prototype head-mounted displays and virtual environments using visual performance metrics. We then present an application of the method...
متن کاملDiffraction of Phase Conjugate Material in a New HMD Architecture
Conventional head-mounted displays (HMDs) consisting of a pair of miniature projection lenses, beam splitters, and miniature displays mounted on the helmet, as well as phase conjugate material placed strategically in the environment have been redesigned to integrate the phase-conjugate material into a complete see-through embodiment. Some initial efforts of demonstrating the concept was followe...
متن کاملThe Past, Present, and Future of Head Mounted Display Designs
Head-mounted displays present a relatively mature option for augmenting the visual field of a potentially mobile user. Ideally, one would wish for such capability to exist without the need to wear any view-aided device. However, unless a display system could be created in space, anywhere and anytime, a simple solution is to wear the display. We review in this paper the fundamentals of head-moun...
متن کاملDesign of an ultralight and compact projection lens.
Driven by the need for lightweight head-mounted displays, we present the design of an ultralight and compact projection lens for a head-mounted projective display (HMPD). An HMPD consists of a pair of miniature projection lenses, beam splitters, and miniature displays mounted on the helmet and retroreflective sheeting materials placed strategically in the environment. The HMPD has been proposed...
