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.
Project North Star headsets generally use an Intel T265 and a Leap Motion Controller.
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.

History
Prototype reflectors were 3D printed using VeroClear resin.[2] A secondary set of reflectors were produced using diamond turning from a block of acrylic material.[2] The secondary set of reflectors were coated with a thin layer of silver.[2]
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.
