Types of HMDs
[[Slide-on HMD]] is the most primitive of all HMD types. These devices rely on the inserted smartphones to do all of the leg work. [[Discrete HMD]] contains a display and some electronics for [[tracking]] and other functions. While they are more advanced than the Slide-ons, Discrete HMDs still require connections to PCs for processing. [[Integrated HMD]] is the most sophisticated of them all. From display to tracking to processing, it has everything needed for VR or [[AR]] within the HMD.
===Slide-on HMD===
[[Slide-on HMD]], also known as Smartphone mount, is the cheapest and most accessible form of [[VR]]. The Slide-on consists of a smartphone holder, [[lenses]] and some form of basic [[input]]. A smartphone is inserted into the HMD and the entire device is played upon the eyes of the user to create the VR experience. The Slide-on utilizes the smartphone for display, processing and [[rotational tracking]]. Some Slide-on HMDs such as the [[Gear VR]] use their own built-in [[IMUs]] instead of relying on that of the smartphones.
Popular Slide-on HMDs:
===Discrete HMD===
[[Discrete HMD]] supplies everything required for an [[immersive]] [[VR]] experience aside from the processing. Discrete HMD contains display, lenses, rotational tracking, [[positional tracking]] and advanced input. Because of its attachment to a PC for processing, this type of HMD is less mobile than its 2 counter parts.
===Integrated HMD===
