Low-Cost Helmet-Mounted Displays

Abstract

This report contains two papers presented at the Helmet-Mounted Displays IV, International Symposium and Exhibition on Optical Engineering and Photonics, held at Orlando, FL on 20-24 April 1992. This symposium was sponsored by the Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). The papers describe the development and demonstration of two helmet-mounted displays: a low-cost monochrome helmet display and a low-cost color helmet display, both with see-through optics. The present monochrome CRT display helmet design, through demonstrations and system measurements, provided positive data as a research device. The color LCD helmet display system was successfully completed and although the resolution of the LCD matrix structure is not suited for the application of small text in the presentation, the high contrast and vivid colors produced by the LCD, as well as the see-through function of the optics, provide the capability for a full field-of-regard visual simulation system which can be used in conjunction with low-cost cockpit training devices....
