A headset is a head-mounted device that can display visuals to the user. It has a display and 3D tracking for updating the contents of the display.
To build a headset, the following are required:
- display source such as an LCD
- physical housing
- 6DOF tracking sensor or SLAM system
- optional optics
- optional driver electronics
Headsets have been called many things, including VR headsets, AR headsets, and MR headsets.
Housing
A housing can be 3D printed.
Screws and fasteners can be bought from McMaster-Carr.
Square nuts are recommended.
Facial comfort has traditionally been done with foam.
For comfort, a halo headband style is recommended, where the headset primarily rests on the forehead and the back of the head. The forehead part should be curved and at a 45 degree angle upwards in the "nodding" axis.
Cloth is an option for padding.
3D tracking
3D tracking for a headset needs to be extremely stable.
