Abstract
Helmet-mounted display unit arrangements provide improved adjustability, including pitch, yaw, and/or vertical translation adjustment. In some embodiments, adjustments to one parameter do not affect the adjustability of other parameters. The helmet-mounted display and associated mount may be arranged such that the helmet-mounted display fits behind a helmet-mounted visor and/or in front of glasses being worn by the user.
