Guide to Head Mounted Displays (HMD)

How to take advantage of the benefits of a head mounted display


Both the commercial uses for head mounted displays (HMD) and the refurbished HMDs used in gaming and entertainment are enough reason to justify the over-the-top marketing that has been swirling through the HMD market. In addition, there are certainly some beneficial uses other than recreation for HMDs, including medical head mounted displays for work in telerobotic surgery and psychological treatment of phobias. However, there are safety issues to keep in mind.

When working with near-to-eye displays, whether you are considering purchasing or selling HMDs, you need to consider the InterPupillary Distance (IPD) on your head mounted displays. For example, children will require a significantly lower IPD measurement for HMDs than will adults.

Consider these steps for adjusting your HMD:

1. Practice proper use of HMD. If you normally wear glasses, keep them on to allow your eyes to remain focused.

2. Adjust your HMD to rest against your forehead, not on your nose.

3. Adjust the lenses on your HMD to be parallel with your eyes (read your manual’s instructions for aligning the eye piece with your IPD). This is important for children because misalignment may cause visual impairment. Children should not wear the HMD for prolonged periods of time.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Purchase a head mounted video display Head mounted computer displays are available in quite a large variety, so you will want to know something about the product specifications you need before you invest in a head mounted video display or head mounted TV display.

I recommend:  Purchase an Vuzix iWear VR920 from Ward's Gadgets that comes with an eye piece on a dual-action tilt and a hinge that moves forward and backward to adjust the distance of the eye piece from your eyes. For those VR enthusiasts who are more adventurous, try creating your own virtual reality environment with an HMD from Arcane Technologies.

Get superior resolution and a flicker-free HMD Virtual home theater isn't a thing of the future. Just a click away from reality is a home theater HMD about which gadget enthusiasts are excited.

I recommend:  Sit in your home and enjoy 3-D display of your favorite movies with one of i-Vue's head mounted TV display units. If you’re into gaming or the business of gaming, dive into a virtual reality with an eMagin Z800 3D Visor.

Use head mounted displays for training and safe practice Some of the benefits of virtual reality are overlooked. The benefits of training people before they enter dangerous or hazardous jobs are enormous when using head mounted TV displays. Initial training done in VR wearing head mounted video displays can actually save lives by preventing real life disasters. Remember, it is OK to make a mistake in a VR test, but an error in real life hazardous work could be deadly to your employees.

I recommend:  If you're in the business of dangerous excavations or hazardous materials management, you could benefit by utilizing Sensics' panoramic head mounted displays for plant operations, personnel training and hazardous environments. If an employee has developed a hazardous phobia that is interfering with their work, Virtual Reality Medical Center can help.
