Project North Star is an AR headset project originally started by Leap Motion that is community run. The project north star is based on a reflector style design. It is an optical-see-through head mounted display (OST-HMD). The original design files have been open sourced.
The design has numerous versions, including the Deck X.
A northstar headset uses a curved reflector. The headsets typically require calibration to correct for geometric distortions introduced by the reflector.
The project northstar can be partially 3D printed.
A northstar headset requires a separate computer to run.
The original prototype headsets had a large field of view. More recent versions have shrunk it.
Software
How to build
A north star can be built by selecting the right displays and driver board.
Calibration is one of the key steps. Calibration can be done with a calibration rig.
Building with support for hand tracking is not recommended.
