Here's an in-depth, design practitioner's study of helmet-mounted display and sight technology (HMD/HMS). This unique combination of advanced optics, computing, and electronics gives users a continuous, hands-free display of computer, 3-D, or virtual imaging. Authored by a leading aerospace engineer, Helmet-Mounted Displays and Sights takes a comprehensive look at this increasingly popular technology -- from the human factors associated with the use of HMDs, to design requirements of HMD/HMS, to new and future advances in image source and display technology, and more.

The incorporation of technology into aviation has been exponential. Advancements in microelectronics, stealth technology, engine design, and electronic sensors and displays have converted simple aircraft into formidable flying machines. In this book, recognised experts in aviation helmet-mounted displays (HMDs) summarise 25 years of knowledge and experience in the area of HMD visual, acoustic, and biodynamic performance, and user interface issues such as sizing, fitting, and emergency egress.

"This book is a compilation of the many subjects that relate to the design of HMDs. It is by its nature a multidisciplinary discussion, because to adequately address the needs of the user, we must cross numerous behavioral, psychological, performance, and anthropometric boundaries. The authors of the chapters are experts in their fields with academic, commercial, and military backgrounds and we thank them for their fine work. We hope that this book will benefit both users and designers of HMDs."--Preface (p. xvi).

This book examines the human factors issues associated with the development, testing, and implementation of helmet-mounted display technology in the 21st Century Land Warrior System. Because the framework of analysis is soldier performance with the system in the full range of environments and missions, the book discusses both the military context and the characteristics of the infantry soldiers who will use the system. The major issues covered include the positive and negative effects of such a display on the local and global situation awareness of the individual soldier, an analysis of the visual and psychomotor factors associated with each design feature, design considerations for auditory displays, and physical sources of stress and the implications of the display for affecting the soldier's workload. The book proposes an innovative approach to research and testing based on a three-stage strategy that begins in the laboratory, moves to controlled field studies, and culminates in operational testing.
