Strap system for head-mounted displays
A strap system for a head-mounted display is disclosed. The strap system includes a rigid segment and a cylindrical structure to couple the rigid segment to the head-mounted display. The strap system also includes a flat circuit within the rigid segment and the cylindrical structure, to couple to the head-mounted display through the cylindrical structure.
1. A strap system for a head-mounted display, the strap system comprising:
a rigid segment;
a cylindrical structure to couple the rigid segment to the head-mounted display; and
a flat circuit within the rigid segment and the cylindrical structure, to couple to the head-mounted display through the cylindrical structure.
2. The strap system of claim 1 , wherein the rigid segment and the flat circuit are to couple to a detachable audio subsystem.
3. The strap system of claim 2 , wherein the detachable audio subsystem comprises a pair of posts, the strap system further comprising a latching subsystem coupled to the rigid segment and to the flat circuit, the latching subsystem comprising:
a plate including a pair of slots to receive the pair of posts; and
a pair of latches to latch to grooves in the pair of posts, each latch of the pair of latches including an opening that overlaps a respective slot of the pair of slots, the opening to receive a respective post of the pair of posts.
4. The strap system of claim 3 , wherein:
the latching subsystem further comprises a base to contact the pair of posts when the pair of posts is latched to the pair of latches; and
the base is coupled to the flat circuit.
5. The strap system of claim 3 , wherein the detachable audio subsystem further comprises a speaker coupled to the pair of posts.
6. The strap system of claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical structure includes grooves to fasten to the head-mounted display.
7. The strap system of claim 1 , wherein the flat circuit is to provide power to the head-mounted display.
8. The strap system of claim 7 , wherein the flat circuit is to further provide visual data to the head-mounted display.
9. The strap system of claim 7 , wherein:
the rigid segment and the flat circuit are to couple to a detachable audio subsystem; and
the flat circuit is to further provide audio data to the detachable audio subsystem.
10. The strap system of claim 1 , wherein the flat circuit is to provide visual data to the head-mounted display.
11. The strap system of claim 10 , wherein:
the rigid segment and the flat circuit are to couple to a detachable audio subsystem; and
the flat circuit is to further provide audio data to the detachable audio subsystem.
12. The strap system of claim 1 , wherein the flat circuit is flexible.
13. The strap system of claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical structure has a hollow center.
14. The strap system of claim 13 , wherein the flat circuit is to couple to the head-mounted display through the hollow center of the cylindrical structure.
15. The strap system of claim 1 , wherein the rigid segment is a first rigid segment and the cylindrical structure is a first cylindrical structure to couple the first rigid segment to a first side of the head-mounted display, the strap system further comprising:
a second rigid segment; and
a second cylindrical structure to couple the second rigid segment to a second side of the head-mounted display, wherein the second side of the head-mounted display is opposite to the first side of the head-mounted display.
16. The strap system of claim 15 , further comprising a semi-rigid segment to couple the first rigid segment to the second rigid segment.
17. The strap system of claim 15 , further comprising a top strap to couple the semi-rigid segment to the head-mounted display.
