Factors Affecting the Visual Fragmentation of the Field-of-View in Partial Binocular Overlap Displays

Abstract

Small fields-of-view (FOV) are detrimental to the visual tasks required of military pilots (Osgood and Wells, 1991; Wells, Venturino, and Osgood, 1989). In order to increase the extent of the visual world available to U.S. Army helicopter pilots using helmet mounted displays (HMD), without incurring increases in size or weight or losses in central resolution, and unusual method of display - partial binocular overlap - has been proposed. Two flanking monocular regions and a central binocular overlap region constitute the FOV in partial binocular overlap displays.
