According to examples, a head-mounted display (HMD) headset may include at least two exterior-facing color cameras mounted on the front face of the HMD and in the same visual plane as the user's eyes. The at least two exterior-facing color cameras may collect images for stereo view synthesis. The HMD may include a processor, and a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform stereo view synthesis with a machine-learning (ML) based technique including at least one of depth estimation, imaging sharpening, forward splatting, disocclusion filtering, or fusion.

A device for providing a reverse pass-through view of a user of a headset display to an onlooker includes an eyepiece comprising an optical surface configured to provide an image to a user on a first side of the optical surface. The device also includes a first camera configured to collect an image of a portion of a face of the user reflected from the optical surface in a first field of view, a display adjacent to the optical surface and configured to project forward an image of the face of the user, and a screen configured to receive light from the display and provide the image of the face of the user to an onlooker.
