  • Publication number: 20230408820
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) headset, system, and method of fabrication are disclosed. The VR headset includes a frame, a transparent display that includes an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and a darkening layer having a controllable opacity, and a processor controlling the display and darkening layer. A proximity sensor detects a potential collision, and the opacity is changed from opaque to transparent in response to detection of the potential collision. The opacity is changed in response to activation of a virtual user input or predetermined eye movement.
