A [[head-mounted display]] ('''HMD''') is a [[display]] [[device]], worn on the head or as part of a [[helmet]] (see [[Helmet-mounted display]]), that has a small display optic in front of one ([[monocular]] HMD) or each eye ([[binocular]] HMD). HMDs serve various purposes, including gaming, aviation, engineering, medicine, and are the primary delivery systems for [[Virtual Reality]] (VR), [[Augmented Reality]] (AR), and [[Mixed Reality]] (MR) experiences, particularly when supporting a seamless blend of physical and digital elements.<ref name="Sutherland1968">Sutherland, Ivan E.
