It features a display in front of one or both of your eyes. The display streams data, images and other information in front of the wearer's eye(s). Many HMDs are [[stereoscopic]], and as such, have displays over both of their users' eyes, like the [[Oculus Rift]] and [[HTC Vive]]. Other HMDs like the [[Google Glass]] only have a display over one of the user's eyes. | ||
The majority of [[Virtual Reality]] (VR) and [[Augmented Reality]] (AR) devices are head-mounted displays. In AR, the display is usually transparent and digital information is superimposed onto real life objects. These HMDs are called [[Optical head-mounted display]]s or [[OHMD]]s. In VR, the display is not transparent and only virtual information and images are displayed in front of wearer's eyes. | The majority of [[Virtual Reality]] (VR) and [[Augmented Reality]] (AR) devices are head-mounted displays.

[[Integrated HMD]] is the most sophisticated and expensive type of HMD | A standalone HMD, also known as an [[Integrated HMD]], is the most sophisticated and expensive type of HMD or [[OHMD]]. This independent computing device is able to deliver [[VR]] and/or [[AR]] experiences without any external hardware such as PC or smartphone. It contains everything from display to processors to camera and is able to display stereoscopic 3D images, perform complex tracking and utilize advanced input methods. Currently, most of Integrated HMDs are AR OHMDs with high price point and target only business professionals. | ||
