Abstract: A clamping apparatus for a head-mounted display device is provided. The clamping apparatus comprises a pivot portion at a rear of the clamping apparatus, the pivot portion adapted to rotate in a rotation plane, a first side portion coupled to and extending in a forward direction from the pivot portion, a second side portion coupled to and extending in the forward direction from the pivot portion, wherein the pivot portion is adapted to adjust the first and second side portions through the rotation plane to a first position and maintain the first position until later adjusted, and a display device assembly coupled to the first side portion, the display device assembly extending in the forward direction from the first side portion.

Abstract: A headset is described. The headset includes a frame configured to be worn substantially behind the ears of a user. The frame includes a top surface having a first plurality of attachment features and a bottom surface having a second plurality of attachment features. A boom is mechanically coupled to the frame. The boom supports an electronic device. A band is configured to be worn substantially across the crown of the head of the user. The band can be detachably coupled to the first plurality of attachment features such that the boom is oriented on a first side of the frame in a first mode of operation. The band can be detachably coupled to the second plurality of attachment features such that the boom is oriented on a second side of the frame in a second mode of operation.

Abstract: A location-based operating method for a head mounted display apparatus is provided. The method can be performed by one or more components of a mobile computing system and remote computing systems. The method obtains location data corresponding to the head mounted display apparatus, and processes the location data to determine a geographic position of the head mounted display apparatus. The method continues by controlling display characteristics of the head mounted display apparatus in response to the geographic position of the head mounted display apparatus.

Abstract: A mobile device is described. The mobile device includes a housing and a processor positioned within the housing for processing data related to the mobile device. An integrated display is coupled to the processor for displaying the data related to the mobile device. A micro-display is coupled to the housing. The micro-display includes an optical element that creates a virtual display having a larger appearance than the integrated display when the optical element is positioned proximate to an eye of a user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a scanner with an embedded voice/data communication system. The embedded communication system enables data to obtained remotely, and transferred to the scanner. The scanner includes a multiplexing component that can enables data received via the communication component to be handled as though it were obtained with the scanner. In addition, the communication system enables paging/calling of remote devices.

Abstract: A head-mounted display apparatus is provided. The display apparatus comprises a rear coupling member having a right end, a left end, and a central portion, a first lateral support member coupled to the right end of the rear coupling member and extending forward from the rear coupling member, a second lateral support member coupled to the left end of the rear coupling member and extending forward from the rear coupling member, and a selectively positionable display assembly adapted to releasably couple to and be supported by either the first lateral support member or the second lateral support member, interchangeably, such that the selectively positionable display assembly extends forward from the first lateral support member when coupled to the first lateral support member and forward from the second lateral support member when coupled to the second lateral support member.
