Occlusion-capable Head-mounted Display

Abstract

Head-mounted display (HMD) is regarded as one of the most popular device for providing three-dimensional (3D) contents in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). Technologies on HMD have been deeply studied because it has a potential to make the people enjoy 3D contents. In this paper, we propose the application for digital micro-mirror device (DMD) as both the filter and the combiner. DMD has a benefit that it generates many images in short time. The real background image and the image generated by the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) are watched through the DMD, and these two images are combined as one image to generate AR.
