The Issue of Visual Correction Compatibility with Helmet-Mounted Displays

Abstract

This paper examines the compatibility issues of helmet-mounted display (HMD) designs, the requirement for providing compatible vision correction, and the methods available in order to achieve this requirement. First, the problem of limited HMD eye clearance is defined in the context of protective devices and visual correction methods. Next, past efforts to mitigate this problem via the use of specially modified spectacles and contact lenses are reviewed. Finally, current and future potential solutions to this problem are explored.
