 Head-mounted display - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Head-mounted displays may also be coupled with head-movement tracking devices to allow the user to "look around" a virtual reality environment naturally by moving the head without the need for a separate controller.
A head-mounted display (HMD) is a display device that a person wears on the head to have video information directly displayed in front of the eyes.
An HMD has either one or two small LCD or OLED displays with magnifying lenses embedded in a helmet, glasses or visor.

 Head-Up Display - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Head-Up displays were pioneered for fighter jets and later for low-flying military helicopter pilots, for whom information overload was a significant issue, and for whom changing their view to look at the aircraft's instruments could prove to be a fatal distraction.
A Head-Up Display, also known as a Heads-Up Display or simply HUD, is any type of display that presents data without blocking the user's view.
Helmet-mounted, or head-mounted, in which the display element moves with the user's head.

 Re: how does a Head-Up Display (HUD) works on the aircraft?
Several types of HUD displays for aircraft are presented on the Kaiser Aerospace Company web pages at: http:// www.kaiseraerospace.com/products.htm More recently helmet integrated displays (HID) have been developed so that the users can read instruments while turning their heads to view the world.
These displays are mounted on an instrument panel below the level of the wind screen (wind shield) and pilots have to take their eyes off the outside environment and lower and refocus their vision to read the meters, dials and indicators.
Two CRT or liquid crystal display (LCD) systems (one for each eye) are being developed to provide 3D stereoscopic display of information to the pilot.

 EYEGLASS HEADS UP DISPLAY
The application of the display for a helicopter-pilot heads-up-display (HUD) and as an aid for the deaf is also presented.
Since the display for the pilot HUD application has relatively few "on" pixels, the display refresh time is improved by simply erasing (loading 0's to the display RAM) only for the previously illuminated pixels instead of the entire display.
The image is generated by a miniature display generator, in the bow of the glasses, which uses a vibrating fiber-optic ribbon attached to a linear light emitting diode (LED) array.
