1. A diffraction-free, head-mounted display, comprising:
- a housing with an attachment mechanism configured to attach to spectacles to be worn by a user;
a boom coupled with the housing;
a plurality of light display elements positioned at a distal end of the boom to direct non-reflected illumination into a peripheral vision area of at least one eye of the user; and
a microcontroller contained within the housing and coupled with the plurality of light display elements for determining an illumination pattern based upon the information and for controlling the plurality of light display elements to display the illumination pattern.

Abstract
A head-mounted peripheral vision display and associated methods display information to a user without distraction. A plurality of light display elements are positioned within an area of peripheral vision of at least one eye of the user such that the information is imparted to the user without a need for repositioning or refocusing of the eye. The information may be determined from data received from one or more sensors and an illumination pattern is determined based upon the performance information. The light display elements are controlled to display the illumination pattern to the user.
