BrightView: Increasing Perceived Brightness in Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Displays

Research output: Chapters, Conference Papers, Creative and Literary Works › RGC 32 - Refereed conference paper (with host publication) › peer-review

Abstract

Virtual content on optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST-HMDs) appears dim in bright environments. In this paper, we demonstrate how a liquid crystal (LC) filter can be used to dynamically increase the perceived brightness of the virtual content. Continuously adjusting the LC filter opacity attenuates the real scene and increases the perceived brightness without being noticed by the user. The results of our psychophysical experiment with 16 participants validate our prototype OST-HMD. Our design could be combined with existing and future OST-HMDs to improve the visibility of the virtual content in augmented reality.
