Crescent HMDs

Vizard can drive the wide field-of-view Crescent HEWDD-1080 HMD. To do so, you only need to copy & paste the code fragment shown below to your own program. It will automatically render 3 separate views for each eye and stitch the views together on a distortion correction mesh.

 

In order to properly view your world on the HEWDD-1080, you must set the monitor resolution for each eye to 1920 x 1080.

import crescent
hmd = crescent.HEWDD_1080()

The crescent.HEWDD_1080 constructor accepts the following optional keyword arguments:
