Abstract— Binocular head‐mounted displays (HMDs) that could be used non‐immersively produced substantial interruption of the visual field. Monocular HMDs designed to be used non‐immersively created minimal interruption of the visual fields. The scotomata are small enough to allow the HMD to be worn in mobile situations, but inattention associated with use of the HMD may cause safety concerns for some mobile situations. A small opaque display can be positioned to provide a see‐through functionality.
