The Evaluation of Partial Binocular Overlap on Car Maneuverability: A Pilot Study

Brian H Tsou; Beth M Rogers-Adams; Charles D Goodyear

An engineering approach to enlarge the helmet mounted display (HMD) field-of-view (FOV) and maintain resolution and weight by partially overlapping the binocular FOV has received renewed interest among human factors scientists. Some evidence has been accumulated to suggest that any panoramic display, when binocular overlap is less than 100%, will be objectionable. As far back as 1962, overlapping the monoculars was used to obtain an ultrawide-field display with a 40-deg overlap for the Army. Whether any visual problem was experienced with such a display was not known.
