Abstract: A head mounted display is disclosed that utilizes a single video display screen to transport images to both eyes. Multiple reflections are created by illuminating the display screen form a plurality of directions, or by illuminating the display screen with light beams of differing polarizations. The reflections of the display screen are focused in order to reduce the splitting volume and then redirected by a plurality of reflective surfaces located near the focal point of the display images. Different images may be sent to each eye of a user by interlacing multiple data streams for the display and linking each data stream with a specific illumination direction, or specific polarization.

Abstract: A mechanism for adjusting an apparatus for the inter-pupilar distance of a user is disclosed. Example embodiments of the disclosed mechanism use gears that link the movements of eye-optics and reflectors placed along the optical path. When the eye-optics are adjusted, this movement causes a movement in the linked reflectors that maintains a constant length for the optical path.
