Apparatus, system, and method for charging artificial-reality displays

A charging case for augmented-reality glasses, the charging case comprising:

• a base;
• a lid movably coupled to the base via a hinge;
• at least one source charging element configured to interface with a recipient charging element of the augmented-reality glasses to facilitate charging a battery of the artificial-reality display;
• and
• at least one alignment guide that forces the recipient charging element of the augmented-reality glasses to energizingly couple with the source charging element when the augmented-reality glasses are placed in the base and the lid is closed to the base, wherein the alignment guide comprises a cavity formed by the base and the lid and is dimensioned such that the lid applies pressure on the artificial-reality display when the lid is movably closed onto the artificial-reality display via the hinge, the pressure applied by the lid serving to secure continuity of the energizing coupling between the recipient charging element and the source charging element.

A method comprising:

• manufacturing a base of a charging case for charging an artificial-reality display;
• manufacturing a lid of the charging case that is movably coupled to the base via a hinge;
• incorporating, into the charging case, at least one source charging element configured to interface with a recipient charging element of the artificial-reality display to facilitate charging a battery of the artificial-reality display;
• and
• incorporating, into the charging case, at least one alignment guide that forces the recipient charging element of the artificial-reality display to energizingly couple with the source charging element of the artificial-reality display when the artificial-reality display is placed in the base, wherein the alignment guide comprises a cavity formed by the base and the lid and is dimensioned such that the lid applies pressure on the artificial-reality display when the lid is movably closed onto the artificial-reality display via the hinge, the pressure applied by the lid serving to secure continuity of the energizing coupling between the recipient charging element and the source charging element.
