Examples of HWD Architectures: Low-, Mid- and Wide-Field of View Designs

In this section, we list examples of head-worn display architectures organized by the field-of-view (FOV) parameter. Low-FOV designs (<40 ), suitable for integration into an eyeglasses form factor are reviewed along with mid-FOV (between 40 and 60 ) and wide-FOV (>60 ) designs. Eyeglass-based displays are particularly interesting because they are well suited for mobile applications, and such displays are more likely to enjoy higher social acceptance due to aesthetics.
