HMD glasses, more formally known as a Head-Mounted Display (HMD), are display devices worn on the head, much like glasses or as part of a helmet. They feature a small display optic in front of one or both eyes.
Types of HMDs
- Monocular HMD: Features a display in front of one eye.
- Binocular HMD: Features a display in front of both eyes, providing a stereoscopic view.
Applications of HMDs
HMDs have a wide range of applications, including:
- Gaming: Immersive virtual reality experiences.
- Aviation: Pilots use helmet-mounted displays for critical flight information.
- Engineering: Visualize and interact with complex 3D models.
- Medicine: Surgical training and visualization of medical data.
