Abstract
Some embodiments described herein relate to head-mounted displays having an optical assembly and a support structure. The optical assembly can include the display, lenses, sensors, electronics and similar components. In this way, fragile and/or expensive components can be concentrated in the optical assembly. The support structure can include a faceplate and straps configured to hold the head-mounted display to the user's head. The optical assembly can be removeably coupled to the support structure. Support structures can be interchangeable with optical assemblies such that one support structure can be configured to be removeably coupled to all, most, or several optical assemblies.
Claims12
An apparatus, comprising:
- a housing;
- a display disposed within the housing;
- a plurality of lenses disposed within the housing, the plurality of lenses configured to project an image from the display onto eyes of a user;
- and
- a coupling mechanism attached to the housing and configured to reversibly couple the housing to a support structure configured to be worn by the user,
- wherein the housing comprises a concave surface and the support structure comprises a convex surface;
- wherein the concave surface of the housing is configured to matingly engage with the convex surface of the support structure when the housing and the support structure are coupled together by the coupling mechanism;
- wherein the concave surface of the housing comprises a first plurality of vents and the convex surface of the support structure comprises a second plurality of vents, and when the housing is coupled to the support structure, the first plurality of vents of the concave surface of the housing are at least partially in alignment with the second plurality of vents of the convex surface of the support structure, whereby a flow path is formed between the first plurality of vents and the second plurality of vents,
- wherein the concave surface of the housing is facing in a projection direction of the image from the display with respect to the plurality of lenses and the convex surface of the support structure is facing forward with respect to the eyes of the user when the support structure is worn by the user such that the image from the display is projected onto the eyes of the user when the housing is coupled to the support structure, and the first plurality of vents of the concave surface of the housing are at least partially in alignment with the second plurality of vents of the convex surface of the support structure along the projection direction.
