SimEye, also known as SIM EYE, is a line of head-mounted displays from Kaiser Electro-optics.
It is intended for simulators such as flight simulators, hence the name.
The headsets use dual-reflective combiners.
The first headsets used cathode ray tubes (CRTs), but the later headsets use liquid-crystal displays (LCDs).
Products[edit]

- SIM EYE 60, using CRT

History[edit]
The first version was the Simulation Eye 2500 (SIM EYE 2500), produced in 1992. The optical design of the SIM EYE 2500 is similar to that of the Wide Eye, an earlier headset from Kaiser, using a monochrome green cathode ray tube, and a dual reflective combiner eyepiece.
The SIM EYE 2500 has about a 40x60 degree field of view, and the same 15 mm exit pupil and 31 mm eye relief as the Wide Eye.
