During the COVID-19 Pandemic, Everyone Had a Head-up Display

Published: 12 January 2023 Publication History

Abstract

A head-up display has been part of my daily life for more than two decades, and people often ask why I wear one. This article makes explicit some of the benefits of video conferencing and shows how a head-worn display provides similar benefits when physically co-present in a conversation.
