  • Publication number: 20160217613
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) headset includes an optics block and an electronic display element outputting image light. The optics block includes a lens and an additional lens each configured to direct portions of the image light to corresponding exit pupils. A cone coupled to the lens and an additional cone coupled to the additional lens, the cone and additional cone configured to direct the image light toward the lens and additional lens, respectively. An extension ring is configured to couple to a mounting surface of a rigid body of the VR headset and to a base portion of the cone, and an additional extension ring is configured to couple to the mounting surface and to an additional base potion of the additional cone. Coupling one or more extension rings to the cone or to the additional cone allows modification of a distance between the lens or the additional lens and eyes of a user.

  • Patent number: 8780004
    Abstract: An enclosure for an electronic device may include an outer enclosure and an optional metallic cage. The metallic cage may include sides, a bottom and a top that collectively define an enclosed volume, with the top being slanted at a non-zero angle with respect to the bottom. The outer enclosure may at least partially enclose the metallic cage and may define a plurality of structural posts and a top surface that faces the top of the metallic cage. The top surface may define a plurality of recesses, each being configured to receive a wireless antenna of the electronic device. The recesses may be oriented to provide a predetermined angular displacement between the antennas and may be disposed to define a predetermined spacing relative to the metallic cage. A set of beveled through-holes may be defined in the top of the metallic cage, aligned with respective ones of the structural posts.
