  • Patent number: 9851569
    Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) device designed for quick and easy mounting and dismounting to and from, respectively, a mounting fixture comprises a display assembly and a chassis coupled to the display assembly. The display assembly includes optical elements configured to convey light to the eyes of a human user when the head-mounted display device is worn by the user. In certain embodiments introduced here, the chassis has an external surface and a fixture interface surface defined within, but not coplanar with, the external surface. The fixture interface surface is configured to mate with a device interface surface of the mounting fixture when the head-mounted display device is mounted to the mounting fixture.

  • Publication number: 20090309838
    Abstract: A rear projection display devices includes a diffusion layer having an interface surface configured to diffuse visible light, and a visible light projection subsystem configured to project a display image at the interface surface using the visible light to be diffused by the diffusion layer. The rear projection display devices may also include a light transmissive base configured to provide a support for the interface surface, and an infrared touch-sensing subsystem including an infrared light source configured to project infrared light at the base, and an infrared light detector configured to detect infrared light reflecting from the interface surface. Separation elements may be disposed between the diffusion layer and the base so as to maintain a separation between the diffusion layer and the base.
