A head mounted display is a wearable device that presents visual information directly in the user's field of view. It typically consists of a display unit worn on the head, resembling glasses or a helmet, providing Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) experiences. These displays can overlay digital information onto the real world (AR) or create entirely immersive digital environments (VR) for entertainment, training, or professional applications. They provide immersive experiences by creating lifelike environments and increasing user engagement. Their ability to deliver VR experiences broadens the range of entertainment options, from interactive storytelling to virtual tours and live events. HMDs are becoming increasingly important for gaming enthusiasts and entertainment seekers as consumer demand for more immersive & realistic experiences grows, fueling market expansion.
 

For instance, in October 2020, Meta introduced the Oculus Quest 2, a versatile headset capable of functioning independently with its internal Android-based operating system or seamlessly integrating with Oculus-compatible VR software when connected to a desktop computer.
 

Health and safety concerns about HMDs pose a significant risk. Eye strain, motion sickness, and the possibility of visual impairment from prolonged use all deter wide adoption. To overcome this obstacle, strict adherence to safety standards, ergonomic design improvements, and comprehensive user guidelines are required. Addressing these concerns effectively is critical for assuaging fears, establishing trust, and paving the way for broader acceptance and successful integration of HMD technology across industries.
