10 . The electronic display assembly of claim 9 , wherein said apparatus is a dental chair.
11 . The electronic display assembly of claim 9 , wherein said apparatus is an operating table.
12 . A method for providing health care service to a patient, comprising utilizing said electronic display assembly of claim 1 to present video to the patient in a resting position while the patient is receiving health care service.
13 . A method for providing dental healthcare to a patient, comprising utilizing said electronic display assembly of claim 1 to present video to the patient in a resting position while the patient is receiving dental healthcare.
14 . An electronic display assembly for viewing by a person in a resting position, comprising,
(a) an apparatus for receiving a person in a resting position,
(b) a support including a carriage suspended above said apparatus, said carriage movable over said apparatus along a translation axis, and
(c) an electronic display coupled to said support such that said electronic display is adjustably positionable both,
(i) in a first direction parallel to said translation axis, and
(ii) in a second direction orthogonal to said first direction.
15 . The electronic display assembly of claim 14 , wherein said electronic display is adjustably positionable in said first direction independent of adjustable positioning of said electronic display along said second direction.
16 . The electronic display assembly of claim 14 , wherein said apparatus comprises a bed.
