Description:
Today, most conventional wearable stereoscopic displays, such as liquid crystal shatter glass, HMD, and so on suffer the practical problem of covering a large part of the wearer’s face, so that in daily use, they hinder normal communication with surrounding people. Some naked eye stereoscopic displays such as LCD with a lenticular lens array have been proposed, but they have limited viewpoints and narrow fields of view.
We propose a new type of head-mounted projector (HMP), named X’talVisor as an ideal tool for future VR collaborative environments. The X’talVisor is a head mounted type display with a large field of view, yet covers little of the wearer’s face, so true “face to face” communication is not hindered by the display.
