Abstract
The design of an optical system for a helmet mounted display (HMD) is particularly demanding since the weight and center of gravity of the display is always critical. When major requirements include the ability to see through the display and to shape the package to wrap around the human head, the optical design becomes a challenge. Proven HMD optical design approaches and their relative merits are discussed.
