Figure 1.19 Panel and lens position. The resolution listed is for the DK2.
Between your eyes and the display panel are lenses designed to distort light in such a way
as to both make the apparent focal depth infinitely far away (resolving the focus issue) and to
make the panel appear much wider than it is, further increasing the field of view (Figure 1.20).

The lenses are also designed to present roughly the same image to the user even if your
point of view is off the axis of the lens. The effect is similar to a magnifying glass, but with a
few important differences.
