  • Inflatable virtual reality headset system
    Patent number: 9829711
    Abstract: An inflatable headset system for virtual and augmented reality applications includes multiple inflatable segments that can be inflated or deflated with one or more valves. One inflatable segment either houses a dedicated display device or defines a receptacle for a mobile device. Another inflatable segment includes one or more lenses that are positioned to cooperate with the display of the display device or mobile device when the inflatable segments are at least partially inflated. Preferably, at least one of the inflatable segments has a shape that, when at least partially inflated, acts as a headset frame. The system may further include optional fasteners or straps, optional computer components, optional sensors, and optional input/output devices.

  • TWISTABLE RING SPEAKER CONTROL
    Publication number: 20090245567
    Abstract: A twisting ring control for a compact speaker is rotatably mounted on a speaker encircling the speaker baffle. When the ring is rotated in one direction, the ring causes the speaker to be switched off, and when the ring is rotated in the opposite direction, the ring causes the speaker to be switched on. A volume control can be integrated into the same mechanism, and arranged such that, after the speaker is switched on, when the ring is rotated in one direction the volume is increased and when the ring is rotated in the opposite direction the volume is decreased.
