We have this fancy HMD called a Projective HMD built by a collaborator, Jannick Roland, from Central Florida. The viewing situations is quite different than usual.
In this case, you have two cameras that project an image off of each of your eyes. The image is then bouced back to you via retroreflective fabric-it then appears on a clear screen over your eyes. Its cool because you can paste the fabric on the walls and such. Anytime you look at the fabric, the image comes in. For example you could put the fabric on a person and have 3D surgical images (CT and MRI) overlayed. Different people could each wear goggles and see slightly different information - or the same. Also, you can see the real world (that part of the world without fabric). I have it working with some HMD code but now that the head tracking gets involved, things get tougher. Let's say we are rendering a 3D brain on a person wearing a showercap of the retroreflective material- When I go to the other side of his head, I want to see the other side of his/her brain. Regarding the view model, it a hybrid of screen attached/nonattached scenario. Maybe I am making this too hard but I would like some advice if anybody understands what I am describing.
