In this video, Chris Chinnock from Insight Media describes a new military helmet-mounted display (HMD) from Collins Aerospace at the Vuzix booth during CES 2026.

Key Specifications

• Display Technology: The headset utilizes two 720p DLP imagers.
• Field of View (FOV): It features a 40-degree diagonal FOV per eye.
• Overlapping Optics: There is approximately a 25-degree overlap, providing a strong 3D-like visual experience even without being fully wide-screen 3D.
• Vuzix Waveguides: The system integrates Vuzix waveguides, known for their performance and durability in mission-critical defense applications.

Interactive Demo

The demonstration featured a mobile drone that transmits data in real-time back to the glasses while someone walks the trade show floor. The full-color display and responsive optics were highlighted as particularly impressive for simulated drone-flying experiences.

The collaboration between Vuzix and Collins Aerospace is aimed at providing ruggedized, high-performance systems for dismounted soldier operations and drone control.
