Abstract
A head mounted display system includes an eye shade with a central opaque portion to block out light in the central field of view of the user's eyes and transparent or semi-transparent side portions on either side of the central portion so as to maintain the user's side peripheral vision substantially free from obstruction. A shield may be mounted on the lower peripheral edge of the eye shade so as to block light, water spray and particles from entering the interior of the head mounted display system.
