Patent number: 9851569Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andriy Pletenetskyy, Bernard Schultz
