Video see-through
Also known as: VST, Camera passthrough
A display approach in head-mounted devices where the user's view of the real world is captured by outward-facing cameras and displayed on screens inside the headset, allowing complete digital manipulation of the visual feed before presentation. For low vision users, video see-through is particularly promising because it enables full image processing — magnification, contrast enhancement, color remapping — applied to the entire visual field in ways that optical see-through displays cannot achieve.
