Abstract:

This paper discusses the possibility of creating a collimator-type helmet-mounted display system based on a scanning microprojector. It is shown that there is a connection between the type of projector and the composition of the optical display system, as well as the functional purpose of its separate modules. Methods are described for configuring a decentered optical system, and an example is presented with the results of the calculation.

Keywords:
