Abstract: A handheld controller configured to be held by a user's hand. The handheld controller comprising a main body, and a handle extending from the main body, wherein the handle has a palm side and a finger side. A control button is positioned on the main body or handle, and a detection sensor is on the handle. The detection sensor is positioned to detect the presence of the finger or palm of a user's hand engaging the handle. The detection sensor can be a capacitive touch sensor, a proximity sensor or other detection sensor operative to detect the touch or spatial presence of the user's hand or fingers.

Abstract: Adjustable balanced controller handles are disclosed as well as methods, systems, and storage media for simulating weight through a controller configured for interacting in a virtual environment. Exemplary implementations may: receive a selection of an implement in the virtual environment; and adjust a location of a mass within a hollow portion of a handle of the controller based on the selection. The mass may be movable within the hollow portion to simulate inertia of a virtual object.

Abstract: A connector assembly mountable to a head strap comprises a connector plate with an engagement portion and a threaded attachment member projecting therefrom. Two cylindrical bosses are adjacent to the attachment member and project away from the engagement portion. Spring-biased pin connectors extend through the bosses and connect electrical line coupled to the engagement portion. The pin connectors have retractable tips projecting from their respective boss for engagement with an electrical contact.

Abstract: An earbud assembly with separate, flexible overmold sections configured to cover a seam between adjacent portions of an underling earbud housing. The earbud assembly includes a first housing member and a second housing member attached to the first housing member and forming enclosure with the first housing member that houses an audio transducer. A first flexible overmold is formed on an first exterior surface of the first housing member, and a second flexible overmold is formed on an exterior surface of the second housing member. The flexible overmolds each include an edge portion along their perimeters. Each edge portion is configured to abut the other and thereby cover the seam of the earbud housing.

Abstract: A detachable audio system with an interface plate mounted on a head strap, and a mounting plate assembly removably attachable to the interface plate with a portion of the strap between the plates to provide independent electrical and mechanical connections between the plates. The mounting plate assembly connects to an earbud assembly via a flexible audio cable. The mounting plate assembly has a threaded attachment member that mates with a threaded attachment member on the interface plate. A pair of electrical connectors on opposing sides of the threaded attachment member protrude from spaced apart cylindrical bosses, such that when the mounting plate is attached to the interlace plate, independent mechanical and electrical connections are provided for detachable retention and operation of the earbud assembly.
