Abstract
Dive Computers are usually integrated in a console or
wrist worn. They display dive relevant data such as
depth, time and decompression obligations. Continuous
monitoring of these data is of the utmost importance for
safety when diving. This paper describes a light weight,
300 m water resistant, graphical head-mounted matrix
display (HMD), which is connected to a wrist worn diving
computer and that gives an exact copy of the diving
computer screen. Optical components are included to
display a virtual image from a distance of 1.0 m. The
monocular HMD only occludes a small peripheral area of
the divers field of view thus causes relatively little
optical interference. The unique design, which enables
attachment to almost any diving mask on the market,
furthermore allows outstanding pressure resistance and
at the same time cost effective manufacturing.
