Bernard C. Kress.
Description: Bellingham, Washington : SPIE, [2020] | Includes
bibliographical references and index. | Summary: "This book is a timely
review of the various optical architectures, display technologies, and
building blocks for modern consumer, enterprise, and defense head-mounted
displays for various applications, including smart glasses, smart eyewear,
and virtual-reality, augmented-reality, and mixed-reality headsets. Special
attention is paid to the facets of the human perception system and the need
for a human-centric optical design process that allows for the most comfortable
headset that does not compromise the user’s experience. Major challenges--
from wearability and visual comfort to sensory and display immersion--must
be overcome to meet market analyst expectations, and the book reviews the
most appropriate optical technologies to address such challenges, as well as
the latest product implementations” – Provided by publisher.
