Examples of HWD architectures: Low-, mid-, and wide-field of view designs

Abstract

In this section, we list examples of head-worn display architectures organized by the field-of-view (FOV) parameter. Low-FOV designs (<40°), suitable for integration into an eyeglass form factor, are reviewed along with mid-FOV (between 40° and 60°) and wide-FOV (>60°) designs. Eyeglass-based displays are particularly interesting because they are well suited for mobile applications, and such displays are more likely to enjoy higher social acceptance due to esthetics.
