Abstract
A head-mounted display (HMD) system includes an optical arrangement; a first image panel, wherein the optical arrangement directs image light from the first image panel along a first optical pathway; a second image panel, wherein the optical arrangement directs image light from the second image panel along a second optical pathway different from the first optical pathway; and a third image panel and a fourth image panel, wherein the third and fourth image panels are spaced apart from each other and the optical arrangement directs light from the third image panel and the fourth image panel along different optical pathways. The optical arrangement is configured such that light from the first image panel and the third image panel are emitted from the HMD system in a combined fashion in a first eye direction, and light from the second image panel and the fourth image panel are emitted from the HMD system in a combined fashion in a second eye direction different from the first eye direction.
