Abstract
Described herein are embodiments of apparatuses for an augmented reality system wherein a wearable augmented reality apparatus may be constructed to have multiple chambers with circuitry elements that are physically and electrically connected. The embodiments may further include a structure for a circuitry chamber that protects sensitive components from external factors. The embodiments may further include arrangements for subsections and components in a wearable augmented reality apparatus that allow for an overall compliant housing while reducing potential shearing force on embedded components.
Claims19
A wearable augmented reality apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a nose piece including a living hinge that is compliant in bending in a hinge region about a hinge axis transverse to a wearer's line of sight, wherein the nose piece includes first and second rigid material sections separated by a gap on an inner side of the nose piece and joined by the living hinge, the first and second rigid material sections being configured to physically contact each other under excessive bending to limit inward deflection of the nose piece;
- and
- circuitry distributed among multiple chambers within the housing wherein the circuitry includes:
- a processor operationally coupled to an inertial measurement unit (IMU), global positioning system (GPS) transceiver, display driver, and Bluetooth unit;
- wherein the chambers are electrically connected by an interconnect that includes a cable, wherein the cable includes a flat face, wherein the cable is redirected in the nose piece from a path otherwise substantially following along the chambers, wherein the cable includes a folded shear-relief portion located inside the nose piece, wherein the folded shear-relief portion has a length greater than a width of the hinge region and the cable is oriented such that the cable experiences bending in the hinge region about its flat face and the flat face is substantially free of in-plane shear.
