Head-worn computer
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.
Head-worn computers can be used for gaming, such as with the Meta Quest 2.
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.
VR headsets with flat focus have lenses that are placed between the display and the user's eyes. The lenses allow our eyes to focus on the images on the display, even though the display is only a few inches in front of our faces. Without lenses, our entire VR world would become blurry because human eyes have trouble focusing on things that are very close.[1]
