Virtual reality head-mounted apparatus
Methods, systems, and apparatus for a virtual reality (VR) head-mounted apparatus are provided. One of the apparatus includes an apparatus body and a heat-generating element. The apparatus body may comprise an installation space and a heat dissipating channel having a non-straight-line structure. The heat-generating element may be installed in the installation space, and two ends of the heat dissipating channel may be in connection with the installation space and the exterior of the apparatus body. The VR head-mounted apparatus provides improved heat dissipating capability without adversely affecting immersive VR experience.
1. A virtual reality (VR) head-mounted apparatus, comprising:

wherein the plurality of heat dissipating channels each include a plurality of straight channel sections including a first straight channel section and a last straight channel section, the plurality of straight channel sections each having straight sidewalls along a propagation direction of a corresponding straight channel section, and serially connected with one another at an angle, the first straight channel section having the first end, the last straight channel section having the second end, and there being no direct straight pathway between the first end and the second end.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device comprises at least one of:
a VR display component for playing VR display content; and
a camera for acquiring an image of an eye of a user wearing the VR head-mounted apparatus.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the apparatus body further comprises a camera facing an eye of a user wearing the VR head-mounted apparatus to acquire an image of the eye of the user.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 ,
wherein the camera is located on a side of the convex lens towards the user, and outside a visible area of the convex lens with respect to the user.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the camera is in contact with an edge of the convex lens.
6. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the camera is a red-green-blue and infrared integrated camera.
7. A virtual reality (VR) head-mounted apparatus, comprising:
an apparatus body;
a convex lens; and
