Abstract: Systems of the present disclosure can provide a wearable electronic device with attachable and exchangeable bands that provide a variety of different components and functions to achieve the results that are desired by a user. A selection of a certain band can influence operation of the wearable electronic device in a variety of ways. For example, the wearable electronic device can respond to the identification of a particular band by performing particular functions, such as changing an aspect of a user interface or altering settings of the wearable electronic device. Such functions can be readily executed by the wearable electronic device upon identification of the band, such that user input is not required. Accordingly, a user's experience with the wearable electronic device can be enhanced based on the user's selection of a particular band.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing that includes an engagement member and defines a recess that is configured to receive a retaining structure of a corresponding connector of a device, and a release. When the connector is mated with the corresponding connector of the device, the release is configured to cause movement of the engagement member to displace the retaining structure from the recess.

Abstract: A component for a wearable electronic device can include a housing defining an internal volume, a first connector that is removably attachable to a head-mounted display. the first connector configured to electrically connect to the head-mounted display. and a second connector that is removably attachable to a supplemental unit. the second connector configured to electrically connect to the supplemental unit. The component can include a stiffener disposed in the internal volume, and the stiffener can be flexible along a first axis and rigid along two axes that are perpendicular to the first axis and to each other. An operational component can be disposed in the internal volume, and the operational component can be electrically connected to at least one of the first connector or the second connector.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can be provided with an ability to detect whether a touch input provided to an input detecting element is intentional or unintentional. For example, multiple touch sensors can be provided at different locations on a housing of a head-mountable device. A first one of the touch sensors can be operated to detect a first touch input. A second touch sensor can be operated to detect a second touch input only when the first touch input is detected and/or above a threshold.

Abstract: An electronic device can include an enclosure and a receptacle connector coupled to the enclosure. The receptacle connector can include a housing defining an aperture and an internal volume. In some examples, the housing is configured to receive a plug connector of a support within the internal volume. The receptacle connector can include one or more electrical contacts at least partially disposed within the internal volume and contacting one or more correlating electrical contacts on the plug connector. In some examples, the plug connector and the receptacle connector can define respective convex surfaces and respective concave surfaces such that a cross-sectional shape of the plug connector and/or the receptacle connector has a curved longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A controller may be provided for use with electronic equipment. The electronic equipment may include a head-mounted device that uses user input to control displayed images, a computer stylus or other accessory, a handheld device such as a remote control, and/or other electronic devices. The controller may have a nub-shaped housing. The housing may be formed from a flexible housing wall that has an elongated dome shape extending along an axis. User finger input may be provided to the controller during operation. Sensor circuitry in the flexible housing may be used in detecting user finger input such as multitouch touch input, force input in which a user's finger presses against the flexible housing, and deformation input in which the flexible housing is bent away from the axis or otherwise deformed by a user's finger.

An accessory that is coupled to the front face of the housing may reflect an image on the front-facing display towards a viewer for viewing. Sensors in the device may detect presence of the accessory. Display projectors and waveguides or optical layers on the front face that overlap the front-facing display may be used to display three-dimensional images to front eye boxes.
