a frame mechanically configured to support the display portion; and a first side arm pivotally attached to the frame and configured to hold the wearable head device in place on the head of a user, the first side arm comprising: a temple section comprising an opening disposed at a first end of the temple section and further comprising a coupling member; and an ear horn section comprising a pin located at a first end of the ear horn section, wherein the opening at the first end of the temple section is configured to receive the pin, and wherein the coupling member is configured to, in a first position, secure the ear horn section to the temple section and, in a second position, permit removal of the pin from the opening. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wearable head device of claim 1, wherein the light source comprises an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wearable head device of claim 1, wherein the light source comprises a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The wearable head device of claim 1, wherein the light source comprises a digital light processing (DLP) display. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The wearable head device of claim 1, further comprising an audio output jack, wherein the wearable head device is configured to present audio to the user via the audio output jack. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The wearable head device of claim 5, wherein the first side arm comprises the audio output jack. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The wearable head device of claim 5, wherein the wearable head device is configured to removably attach to a speaker via the audio output jack. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The wearable head device of claim 1, further comprising a haptic actuator, wherein the wearable head device is configured to present a haptic signal to the user via the haptic actuator. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The wearable head device of claim 8, wherein the first side arm comprises the haptic actuator. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The wearable head device of claim 1, wherein the coupling member is configured to permit rotation of the ear horn section relative to the temple section. ### Claim 11 A method comprising: generating, via a light source of a wearable head device, image light associated with virtual content; and presenting the image light to a user of the wearable head device via a display portion of the wearable head device; wherein: the wearable head device comprises: a frame mechanically configured to support the display portion, and a first side arm pivotally attached to the frame and configured to hold the wearable head device in place on the head of the user, the first side arm comprising: a temple section comprising a coupling member and an opening disposed at a first end of the temple section; and an ear horn section comprising a pin located at a first end of the ear horn section, the opening at the first end of the temple section is configured to receive the pin, and the coupling member is configured to, in a first position, secure the ear horn section to the temple section and, in a second position, permit removal of the pin from the opening. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the light source comprises an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the light source comprises a liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) display. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the light source comprises a digital light processing (DLP) display. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the wearable head device further comprises an audio output jack, and wherein the method further comprises presenting audio to the user via the audio output jack, concurrently with presenting the image light and the view of the surrounding environment via the transparent display portion. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the first side arm comprises the audio output jack. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the wearable head device is configured to removably attach to a speaker via the audio output jack. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the wearable head device further comprises a haptic actuator, and wherein the method further comprises presenting a haptic signal to the user via the haptic actuator, concurrently with presenting the image light and the view of the surrounding environment via the transparent display portion. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The method of claim 18, wherein the first side arm comprises the haptic actuator.
