'''Ivan Sutherland's head-mounted display''' is a [[head-mounted display]] and rendering system created by [[Ivan Sutherland]] that was the first to be driven by computer graphics.
 
The mechanical system is informally called the [[Sword of Damocles]]. It does not masswise support the headset. The headset is very light and rests its weight on the user's head.<ref name="x728">{{cite web | title=Nextgen AR Glasses: Autofocus, Telepresence, Personal Assistants | website=YouTube | date=2024-03-06 | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKKtVvFcR2A | access-date=2024-09-07}}</ref>
 
There is a research publication by Ivan Sutherland outlining the details of the system. In the research publication, he claimed that the fundamental idea behind three-dimensional displays is to present the user with a perspective image that changes as he moves.<ref name="j688">{{cite conference | last=Sutherland | first=Ivan E. | title=A head-mounted three dimensional display | publisher=ACM Press | date=1968 | doi=10.1145/1476589.1476686 | page=757}}</ref>
 
The head mounted display has IPD adjustment capability.<ref name="j688"/>
 
==Research==
Two separate positioning systems were explored: A mechanical system and an [[ultrasonic tracking system]]. The ultrasonic system has three transmitters which transmit at 37khz, 38.6khz, and 40.2khz respectively.<ref name="j688"/>
 
==Specifications==
* About a 40 degree field of view.<ref name="j688"/>
