Abstract

Most of the state-of-the-art optical see-though head-mounted displays lack the ability to occlude the real scene and fail to render the virtual scene in high contrast with bright surroundings. Mutual occlusion is a strong contributor to the human visual system’s ability to distinguish depth information and create a seamless integration of the real and virtual world. In this paper, we present a monocular prototype of an occlusion-capable optical see-through head mounted display and demonstrate its mutual occlusion capability and performance in bright environments. Our design currently uses an Organic LED (OLED) microdisplay coupled with a Liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) type Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) to achieve a 30 degree diagonal FOV and 1920x1080 color resolution.
