The facial interface is connected to the display frame and includes a lattice structure. The strap connects to the display frame.

Abstract: Wearable electronic devices including counterbalances for adjusting balance points thereof and methods of using the same are disclosed. In an example, head-mountable electronic device includes a display unit, a securement band connected to the display unit, an overhead band including a first end secured to the securement band and a second end secured to the securement band, and a counterbalance connected to the securement band between the first end and the second end. A distance between the counterbalance and the first end can be adjustable.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include a display frame, an optical component disposed within the display frame, a facial interface, and a rigid bumper connected to the display frame. The rigid bumper can be positioned between the display frame and the facial interface and can further define a gap between the optical component and the facial interface. The facial interface can also include a cushion layer that can be rated for applied loads in a first force range. Furthermore, a stop can be connected to the head-mountable display, wherein the stop can be rated for applied loads within a second force range that is higher than the first force range. The facial interface can further include a front surface facing toward the head-mountable display and a rear surface that can contact a face.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include adaptable components, which move to comfortably engage the face of the user and to exclude light from an external environment. A head-mountable device can include a light seal that includes discrete portions that bend and/or pivot as needed to conform to a face of the user. Such mobility allows the portions to be oriented with respect to corresponding regions of the face, so that an engagement surface of each portion directly engages the corresponding region of the face to maximize the surface area of contact. Such a configuration can be provided while also providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance by providing one or more covers that form continuous, breathable surfaces with the desired opacity.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include assemblies that provide fit adjustment capabilities when assembled together. By providing head-mountable devices with modular features, certain assemblies can provide fit adjustment capabilities without requiring other assemblies to be custom designed or available in a wide variety of sizes and/or shapes. A lens assembly can provide one or more lenses that accommodate a user's vision correction needs. The lenses can be provided in a manner that allows them to be coupled to displays of the head-mountable device, which can move as needed. The lenses can be coupled to displays to move with the displays.

Abstract: A fitting device that can be worn by a user to facilitate detection of the user's features and guide the user to selecting components (e.g., modules) of a head-mountable device that will provide the best fit when assembled together. By providing head-mountable devices with modular features, certain modules can provide a custom fit without requiring the entire head-mountable device to be custom fitted to each user. An electronic device can be operated to guide a user to select the optimal components, such as a face seal and/or head engager for use with an HMD module.

Abstract: A wearable device includes a support and a cushion that is coupled to the support, the cushion including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion having a first stiffness, the second portion having a second stiffness, and the first stiffness is at least four times greater than the second stiffness.

Abstract: Systems of the present disclosure can provide a head-mountable device that distributes forces along the user's head. A head-mountable device can include head securement element with a support element to engage the head of the user. The support element can be coupled to the frame or light seal module of the head-mountable device. The support element can be attachable or deployable from the head-mountable device. A head-mountable device can also distribute forces with a support portion extending from a band.

Abstract: An apparatus can include a display, a facial interface, and a connection between the display and facial interface. The display can at least translate or rotate relative to the facial interface via the connection.

Abstract: A cushion assembly for a wearable electronic device includes a polymer structure and foam. The polymer structure can include a laminar portion defining a first aperture and a second aperture, a first tube structure extending from a peripheral edge of the first aperture, and a second tube structure extending from a peripheral edge of the second aperture. The foam can be disposed between the first tube structure and the second tube structure.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may include a main housing portion and displays in the main housing portion that provide images to eye boxes. A light seal may be coupled to the main housing portion and may at least partially surround the eye boxes. The head-mounted device may include sweat mitigation structures such as moisture-guiding channels in the light seal to guide sweat and other moisture away from the eye boxes. The moisture-guiding channels may be formed from grooves or moisture-wicking fabric. Control circuitry may adjust a fan based on humidity, temperature, or fog detected by a sensor. The light seal may include a directional pattern of grooves through which moisture is guided away from the eye boxes. A moisture barrier layer may be interposed between an inner foam layer and an outer light-blocking fabric to prevent sweat from penetrating into the foam.

Abstract: A head-mountable device includes a display portion having a housing and a display, a light seal extending from the housing and including offset from the housing by a distance, and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the housing and the light seal and configured to alter the distance.

Abstract: A device includes a device housing, a facial interface, a support structure, content display components, and an impact mitigation structure that is configured to mitigate an impact with an external structure.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include modules that provide fit adjustment capabilities when assembled together. By providing head-mountable devices with modular features, certain modules can provide fit adjustment capabilities without requiring other modules to be custom designed or available in a wide variety of sizes and/or shapes. For example, a light seal module that provides engagement of a user's face and transmits light from a display element can be coupled to an HMD module. The coupling module that couples the light seal to the HMD module can be provided in a wide variety of sizes and/or shapes to allow a user to select an appropriate one for optimal alignment of an HMD module. Additionally or alternatively, a light seal module can be provided with manual and/or automated adjustment capabilities to achieve the desired fit.

The head-mountable device and/or other electronic devices can be operated to guide a user to select the optimal light seal module for use with an HMD module. For example, the head-mountable device or another device can include sensors for detecting features of the user's face, forces distributed on the face when worn, and/or entry of light from an external environment.
