Ivan Sutherland's head-mounted display
Ivan Sutherland's head-mounted display is a head-mounted display and rendering system created by Ivan Sutherland that was the first to be driven by computer graphics.
The mechanical system is informally called the Sword of Damocles. It does not masswise support the headset. The headset is very light and rests its weight on the user's head.[1]
There is a research publication by Ivan Sutherland outlining the details of the system. In the research publication, he claimed that the fundamental idea behind three-dimensional displays is to present the user with a perspective image that changes as he moves.[2]
The head mounted display has IPD adjustment capability.[2]
Research[edit]
Two separate positioning systems were explored: A mechanical system and an ultrasonic tracking system. The ultrasonic system has three transmitters which transmit at 37khz, 38.6khz, and 40.2khz respectively.[2]
Specifications[edit]
- About a 40 degree field of view.[2]
