Claims19
A headset computer comprising:
- a frame wearable on a user's head, the frame carrying a digital processor and a power source;
- and
- a cellular module removably attached to the frame and operatively coupled to the digital processor and power source, the cellular module providing a portable cellular radio.
A headset computing device comprising:
- a microdisplay;
- a processor;
- a power supply operatively coupled to the processor;
- a low-power communications module operatively coupled to the processor and the power supply;
- a connection interface configured to operatively connect to the processor and the power supply;
- a frame configured to be worn on the head of a user, and further configured to support the processor, the power supply, the low-power communications module, the connection interface, and the microdisplay, the microdisplay being supported within the field of view of the user;
- and
- a cellular radio module removably attached to the frame and operatively connected to the processor and power supply through the connection interface.
