Project North Star is an AR headset project that is community run.
It was originally started by Leap Motion.
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.
