This Instructable is how to easily and fast recreate the basic idea behind the concept put forward by Robert Xiao, Carnegie Mellon University and Hrvoje Benko, Microsoft Research.

The idea is to have controllable light sources fill in the blank within the headset on the outside part of the lenses so the field of view is perceived as enlarged. No more tunnel effect of narrow field of view.

To get started you will need two rings with addressable rgb leds. This instructable will use ws2812 chipset of LEDs. You can get them from all over the place. Adafruit, ebay, or http://www.banggood.com/New-LED-Ring-24-x-WS2812-5...

You will also need a Arduino, I used Arduino Nano as its smaller and more manageable than the big one, but any will do.

And thats it for needed parts.
