A head-mounted display (HMD) is a wearable device that presents visual information directly in front of the user's eyes. It typically features one or two small displays and is capable of delivering immersive experiences. HMDs are commonly employed in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications. These devices often incorporate various sensors to track head movements, thereby enhancing interactivity and the realism of displayed content.
There are three primary types of head-mounted displays, slide-on, integrated, and discrete. Slide-on HMDs are devices that can be attached to existing headgear such as helmets or glasses, offering users a versatile option to transform their conventional headgear into a smart device suitable for augmented or virtual reality experiences. The components of HMDs encompass processors, memory, displays, lenses, sensors, controllers, cameras, cases, and connectors, integrated with technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). These products are equipped with both wired and wireless connectivity and find applications across various sectors including consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, enterprise, commercial industries, automotive, energy, and others.
