| Head-Mounted Display Devices |
As
part of the effort to adapt image enhancement technologies to the visually
impaired, we are working on the development of augmented vision systems for use
by visually impaired. A newly developed image enhancement technique enables the
projection of enhancement outline on the natural view of the environment using
see-through, head-mounted display (HMD). An open peripheral design for such a
system permits the use of the full peripheral field while the enhancement is
limited to the central HMD field. This HMD approach is a significant advance in
low vision aids. Studies on the visual effects of HMD in low vision and in
normally sighted observers are part of this program. In this direction we are
developing (with NASA support) a new stereo display system that is free from the
problem of conflict between accommodation and convergence. We are also working
with many of the HMD manufacturers on testing comfort and safety of their new
devices.
