Abstract: A head-mounted display system includes a head-mounted display system, comprising a head-mounted display unit, comprising various pad options at various positions on the head including saddle shaped nose pads that deform under a reaction force applied to the apex of the nose to improve load distribution, forehead pads with an associated mounting structure and inserts that affect compliance and/or size, temporal pads configured to lie against the temporal bone which support some of the weight of the head mounted display system and, further stabilizing pads which are located on a rigid portion of the temporal arms and designed to extend along temporal regions of the users head.

Abstract: A method includes receiving data associated with a sleep session of a user. The method also includes determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced an event based at least in part on the data. The method also includes causing pressurized air to be directed from a respiratory device to a multi-compartment bladder in response to determining that the user is experiencing or has experienced the event to aid in modifying a position of a head of the user.

Abstract: A head-mounted display system includes a head-mounted display unit and a positioning and stabilising structure structured and arranged to hold the head-mounted display unit in an operational position over a user's face in use. The positioning and stabilising structure includes a rear support structure adapted to contact posterior regions of a user's head and a forehead support connector, which includes a forehead support strap, which extends generally along and in the direction of the sagittal plane and connects the rear support structure to a superior edge region of the head-mounted display unit. The forehead support connector further includes a forehead support rigidiser that provides rigidification to a portion of the forehead support connector.

Abstract: A method includes receiving data associated with a user during a sleep session. The received data is analyzed to determine, for a selected timeframe during the sleep session, whether the user is breathing through nostrils of the user. Based at least in part on a result of the analysis, a mask recommendation is communicated.

Abstract: A head-mounted display system includes a positioning and stabilising structure structured and arranged to hold a display unit in an operational position over a user's face in use and an interfacing structure for the display unit constructed and arranged to be in opposing relation with the user's face. The interfacing structure comprises a substantially continuous face engaging surface adapted to contact the user's face around a periphery of the user's eyes. The interfacing structure comprises silicone. The interfacing structure is configured and arranged such that force applied to the user's face is distributed around the periphery thereof. The interfacing structure comprises a first compliance at a first region and a second compliance at a second region, wherein the first region and the second region are configured around the periphery of the interfacing structure to allow selective distribution of the force onto the user's face.

Abstract: A head-mounted display system includes a head-mounted display unit and a positioning and stabilising structure structured and arranged to hold the head-mounted display unit in an operational position over a user's face in use. The positioning and stabilising structure includes a rear support structure adapted to contact posterior regions of a user's head and at least one connector structured and arranged to interconnect the rear support structure to the head-mounted display unit. The rear support structure is in the form of a hoop comprising an occipital portion configured and arranged engage the user's head along a portion of the occipital bone adjacent a junction where the neck muscles attach to the occipital bone in use.

Abstract: A head-mounted display system includes a head-mounted display unit having a display, a battery pack for powering the head-mounted display system, and a positioning and stabilising structure configured to hold the head-mounted display unit anterior to a user's eyes such that the display is viewable by the user in use and configured to hold the battery pack posterior to the user's head in use. In an embodiment, the positioning and stabilizing structure includes a posterior support portion configured to engage a posterior portion of a user's head, the posterior support portion having a parietal strap portion configured to overlie the parietal bones of the user's head in use and an occipital strap portion configured to overlie or lie below an occipital bone of the user's head in use.
