Abstract

Head-mounted displays are increasingly available and have been proposed as a platform for a new class of low vision aid. Two kinds of head-mounted display, smart glasses and a smartphone-based headset, are evaluated here in terms of their visibility and desirability for users with age-related macular degeneration. This evaluation is performed through a test to measure the extent of visibility of the screens, through a reading speed test and through a questionnaire. All but one of the participants could read from the displays and see at least 45 % of at least one of the screens. The majority found it easier to read from the displays than from paper.
