A Design of Low Cost Head-Mounted Display Using Android Smartphone

Abstract — Smartphones and tablets are the most popular devices because of lightweight, mobile and high-end computational capabilities. Android operating system based smartphones are widely used covering major portion of global smartphone shipment market. This paper proposes a new novel design of a Low Cost Head-Mounted Display (LCHMD). LCHMD is using android operating system based smartphone as a display module. The model implements an android application that is responsible to present stereoscopic 3D content over Smartphone’s screen. Since modern Virtual Reality (VR) glasses and Head-Mounted Displays are costly, proposed model is efficient terms of cost and time required to build HMD from scratch
