Abstract
An electronic device includes a head mountable display having a sensor and a light seal removably connectable to the HMD. The light seal can include an identification feature detected by the sensor. In one example, the HMD includes a display screen configured to display a confirmatory image and the light seal can include a unique visual component corresponding to the confirmatory image. In another example, the HMD can include an optical lens connection feature and the sensor can detect a depth of the light seal.
Claims16
An electronic device, comprising:
- a head mountable display (HMD) including a sensor;
- and
- a light seal removably connectable to the HMD, the light seal comprising an identification feature detectable by the sensor;
- wherein:
- the identification feature is associated with user information;
- the sensor is configured to detect the identification feature;
- and
- the head mountable display is to display a confirmatory image when the sensor detects the identification feature.
A wearable electronic device, comprising:
- a light seal comprising an identification feature, wherein the light seal comprises a pliable material configured to conform to a user;
- a head mountable display (HMD) that is removably connectable to the light seal and includes a display configured to display a confirmatory image associated with the identification feature;
- and
- a sensor configured to detect the identification feature;
- wherein the confirmatory image is shown on the display when the sensor detects the identification feature.
A head mountable display (HMD), comprising:
- a sensor;
- an optical lens connection feature;
- and
- a removable shroud comprising:
- a depth indicating a distance between a user's eyes and an optical lens;
- an identification feature associated with the depth;
- and
- a processor that determines if the removable shroud is appropriate for connecting to the HMD based on the depth;
- wherein the processor is configured to determine whether an optical lens is connected to the optical lens connection feature when determining if the removable shroud is appropriate for connecting to the HMD.
