A head-worn computer is a computer that is worn on the head. It can include a display.
Examples of head-worn computers are the Meta Quest Pro and the Apple Vision Pro.
The use of a headmounted display is to display a 3D view of which one has control over the contents of the scene using a 3D control peripheral.
The majority of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) gadgets are head-worn computers. In VR, the display is not transparent and only virtual information and images are displayed in front of wearer's eyes. In AR, the display is usually transparent and digital information is superimposed onto real life objects. These HMDs are called optical see through head mounted displays (OST-HMD). Video passthrough can also be done.
