Abstract

A head-mountable display device can include a structural frame, where a first mounting bracket can be coupled to a first side of the structural frame. In some examples, the first mounting structure can include a cantilever arm. A second mounting bracket can be coupled to a second side of the structural frame opposite the first side, where the second mounting bracket can include a mounting arm, a sensor coupled to the cantilever arm, and a display assemble slidably coupled to the mounting arm.

Claims (53)

1 . A head-mountable display device, comprising:

a structural frame;

a display assembly coupled to the structural frame;

a mounting bracket coupled to the structural frame, the mounting bracket including a first cantilever arm extending in a first direction and a second cantilever arm extending in a second direction opposite the first direction;

a camera coupled to the first cantilever arm; and

a sensor coupled to the second cantilevered arm.

2 . The head-mountable display device of claim 1 , further comprising a display assembly adjustment mechanism coupled to the structural frame.

3 . The head-mountable display device of claim 2 , the display assembly adjustment mechanism including a guide-rod extending from a mounting arm.

4 . The head-mountable display device of claim 3 , wherein the display assembly is slidably engaged with the guide-rod.

5 . The head-mountable display device of claim 1 , wherein the structural frame defines a first aperture and a second aperture.

6 . The head-mountable display device of claim 5 , wherein:

the mounting bracket is coupled to the structural frame between the first aperture and the second aperture.

7 . The head-mountable display device of claim 6 , wherein the display assembly is coupled to the structural frame between the first aperture and the second aperture.

8 . The head-mountable display device of claim 1 , further comprising an outer frame defining an external surface and an internal volume, wherein the structural frame is disposed in the internal volume and coupled to the outer frame.

9 . The head mountable display device of claim 8 , wherein:

the outer frame comprises a first material; and

the structural frame comprises a second material having a higher strength than the first material.

10 . A wearable electronic device, comprising:

an outer frame defining an external surface;

an inner frame coupled to the outer frame;

a mounting bracket coupled to the inner frame, the mounting bracket including:

a first cantilever arm extending in a first direction; and

a second cantilever arm extending in a second direction opposite the first direction;

a first sensor coupled to the first cantilever arm;

a second sensor coupled to the second cantilever arm;

a first display assembly slidably coupled to the inner frame; and

a second display assembly slidably coupled to the inner frame.

11 . The wearable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the first sensor includes a camera.

12 . The wearable electronic device of claim 11 , wherein the second sensor includes an infra-red sensor.

13 . The wearable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein:

the first display assembly includes a first display; and

the second display assembly includes a second display.

14 . The wearable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the mounting bracket is coupled to the inner frame between the first display assembly and the second display assembly.

15 . The wearable electronic device of claim 10 , wherein the first cantilever arm and the second cantilever arm extend downward to accommodate a nose when the wearable electronic device is donned.

16 . A wearable electronic display device, comprising:

a structural frame;

a mounting bracket coupled to a first side of the structural frame, the mounting bracket including a middle portion coupled to the first side of the structural frame, the first mounting bracket further including:

a first cantilever arm extending from the middle portion in a first direction; and

a second cantilever arm extending from the middle portion in a second direction opposite the first direction;

a first sensor coupled to the first cantilever arm;

a second sensor coupled to the second cantilever arm;

a first display assembly slidably engaged with a second side of the structural frame opposite the first side; and

a second display assembly slidably engaged with the second side.

17 . The wearable electronic display device of claim 16 , wherein:

the first sensor comprises a first camera pointed in a forward direction;

the second sensor comprises a second camera pointed in the forward direction;

the first display assembly comprises a first display screen pointed in a rearward direction opposite the forward direction; and

the second display assembly comprises a second display screen pointed in the rearward direction.

18 . The wearable electronic display device of claim 17 , further comprising a controller electrically coupled to the first camera, the second camera, the first display screen, and the second display screen, the controller configured to:

display a first image captured by the first camera on the first display screen; and

display a second image captured by the second camera on the second display screen.

19 . The wearable electronic display device of claim 16 , wherein the first cantilever arm includes a distal end opposite the middle portion, the distal end being free of affixation to the structural frame.

20 . The wearable electronic display device of claim 19 , wherein the second cantilever arm includes a distal end opposite the middle portion, the distal end of the second cantilever arm being free of affixation to the structural frame.
