The wearable optics also includes circuitry within the frame member for enhancing the use of the wearable optics. A system and method in accordance with the present invention is directed to a variety of ways to enhance the use of eye-glasses. They are: (1) media focals, that is, utilizing the wearable optics for its intended purpose and enhancing that use by using imaging techniques to improve the vision of the user; (2) telecommunications enhancements that allow the eyeglasses to be integrated with telecommunication devices such as cell phones or the like; and (3) entertainment enhancements that allow the wearable optics to be integrated with devices such as MP3 players, radios, or the like.

Systems and methods for medical patient distraction may permit watching an immersive video headset during a dental or medical procedure that is compatible with nitrous oxide. Having the ability to watch a show on an immersive video headset while using nitrous oxide may allow for further distraction of the patient from the discomfort of dental or medical procedures. The parts and pieces of the immersive video headset that touch the patient may be detachable so they can be changed between patients for easy sterilization and cleanliness. Also, the immersive video headset may be capable of mirroring what is on a phone or nearby computer. The design of the headset may be specifically compatible with being able to use a nitrous hood during dental or medical procedures.

A display apparatus of the present disclosure includes: a left eyepiece display unit including a left-eye image display device and a left eyepiece optical system guiding a displayed left-eye display image to a left eye; and a right eyepiece display unit including a right-eye image display device and a right eyepiece optical system guiding a displayed right-eye display image to a right eye, and an image magnification upon observation by both eyes is twice or more. The left eyepiece optical system and the right eyepiece optical system each include a plurality of single lenses, and at least one of the single lenses is a free-form surface lens including a resin material. At least one of the single lenses is arranged in at least one of an eccentric state or a rotated state with respect to an optical axis of the left-eye image display device or the right-eye image display device.

A head mounted display including two display units is provided. An included angle between the two display units is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Each of the two display units includes a display device, a condenser lens and a prism. The condenser lens overlaps the display device. The prism overlaps the condenser lens and the display device.
