• an optics block includes a display screen, the optics block having a forward-facing region, a lower-facing region, a top-facing region, an inside-facing region, and side regions that extend from the forward-facing region toward the inside-facing region, the display screen being viewable from the inside-facing region;
• a band adjustment unit located opposite the optics block;
• a headband having a front portion and an adjustable portion,
• the adjustable portion of the headband is connected to the band adjustment unit to contract a size of the headband or expand the size of the headband;
• the front portion of the headband having a connection to the optics block at a center location that is proximate to the inside-facing region and is over part of the top facing region, wherein the connection is at a lower front region of the headband, such that the headband is spaced apart from the optics block other than at the connection and spaces are provided on either side of the connection, the connection is further adjustable to provide for an adjustment gap that slides the optics block out to extend away from the headband and slides the optics block in to contract toward the headband,
• a pad disposed inside of the front portion of the headband, the pad provides for at least partial support of the optics block when the head mounted display is worn by a user;
• wherein the pad has a curved structure, the curved structure providing an inner pad surface for contact with an upper-front-region of a head of the user and the curved structure of the pad extends above the front portion of the headband;
• wherein the headband extends along a downward angle from the front portion that is positioned above the optics block and toward the adjustable portion, the downward angle is along a straight line positioned at a substantial center of a side of the headband and extending from an approximate upper mid-point of the front portion to an approximate lower mid-point of the adjustable portion.
