ID 140038); published May 31, 2011 We present a concept of a wide-angle, lightweight, optical see-through head-mounted display (HMD) using free-form optics tiling. Free-form optics tiling can potentially address several critical problems in existing tiled HMD designs that use rotationally symmetric optics. The optical design of our tiled optical see-through HMD achieves a field of view (FOV) of 56° × 45° and an angular resolution of 3:2 arcmin with two display channels. We demonstrate a proof-of- concept prototype and present some of its manufacturing details. The FOV can be further enlarged by tiling more display channels together at their bottom and side surfaces. © 2011 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 080.2740, 080.2205, 220.3620, 220.4610, 330.7322, 350.4600. Wide field of view (FOV) and high-resolution head- which greatly facilitates the fabrication and testing of mounted displays (HMD) are desirable for high-end these surfaces [4]. Ro
