A head-mounted display (HMD) is a display device, worn on the head or as part of a helmet, that mounts either a single screen in front of both of the users eyes (monocular HMD) or a separate screen in front of each eye (binocular HMD). An extensive summary of the properties of VR HMDs is available on the wiki or on . HMD's are generally either "tethered" (such as Oculus Rift) to a PC that monitors tracking and undertakes the rendering, or "untethered" (such as Oculus Quest) where the unit is standalone.
