Global Head-mounted Displays Market Opportunities to 2018
M2 - Thu Feb 20, 10:30AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8q9f5q/global) has announced the addition of the "Global Head-mounted Displays Market Opportunities to 2018" report to their offering. One of the major drivers in this market is the increasing adoption of head-mounted displays in the Consumer Electronics sector. Over the years, head-mounted displays have emerged as effective gaming devices, as they introduce gamers to a whole new experience, entirely different from conventional gaming. This is also one of the major factors leading to the increased adoption of head-mounted displays. Augmented reality refers to the virtual view of a physical environment, which is done by augmenting reality through computer-generated sensory inputs. These inputs, later fed into the computer, are in the form of sound, video, graphics, or GPS data (GPS data maps the real-world environment). Head-mounted displays, head-up displays, and Google glasses are some examples of augmented reality products. The increase in the number of augmented reality products is one of the major factors contributing to the growth of this market. Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in the market is the high ownership cost of head-mounted displays. The unit cost of head-mounted displays plays a critical role in their adoption in the Consumer Electronics, Healthcare, and Sports sectors. The high cost of head-mounted displays is likely to lead to the slow adoption of such displays, affecting the growth prospects of the market. The key vendors dominating this market space are: - Elbit Systems Ltd. - eMagin Corp. - Kopin Corp. - Sony Corp. - Vuzix Corp. Key Topics Covered: 01. Executive Summary 02. List of Abbreviations 03.

Concise Analysis on the International Head Mounted Display Market - Forecast to 2019
M2 - Wed Feb 05, 4:53AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8qnn9s/head_mounted) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis on the International Head Mounted Display Market - Forecast to 2019" report to their offering. Head mounted displays are head worn display devices that include small display optics in front of either one (monocular head mounted displays) or each eye (binocular head mounted displays). The display optic projects a virtual environment in front of wearer's eye. In general, HMDs can be segmented into two broad categories namely see-through' HMDs and look-at' HMDs. The look-at' HMDs allow wearers to see only the CGI (Computer Generated Image) projected by HMDs. On the contrary, see-through' HMDs allow superimposing of a CGI (Computer Generated Image) upon a real world view. The growing popularity for compact, portable and wearable computing devices has lead to the resurgence of head mounted displays in recent years. Increased penetration of HMDs in the consumer market coupled with declining prices of components such as microdisplays is expected to fuel market growth over the next few years. Microdisplays are one of the key embedded components in every NTE (Near-To-Eye) devices that are coupled with an optic system for providing enlarged, high quality image in front of wearer's eye. Use of HMDs for automotive prototyping in terms of virtually designing a vehicle or a car and evaluating the position of different parts provides a sound opportunity for the growth of HMD market.
