  • Patent number: 12372796
    Abstract: The disclosed flexible facial interface assemblies for head-mounted display systems may include a rigid support frame element and a flexible facial interface frame element. The rigid support frame element may be shaped and configured to physically support a display of a head-mounted display system in front of a user's eyes when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. The flexible facial interface frame element may be configured to flex to conform to the user's facial features when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. An outer periphery of the flexible facial interface frame element may be independently movable relative to an outer periphery of the rigid support frame element. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20250197051
    Abstract: A product packaging system for a consumer product, and a product packaging for such a product packaging system. The product packaging is formed from a material blank operable for movement between an unfolded state/open structural configuration and a folded state/closed structural configuration forming the product packaging. In the folded state/closed structural configuration, the product packaging defines a cavity that is operable to receive the consumer product. The product packaging includes a releasable locking system that is selectively moveable between a disengaged state and an engaged state which locks and maintains the product packaging in the folded state/closed structural configuration.

  • Publication number: 20250125639
    Abstract: An example portable charging case for smart glasses comprises a glasses-retention portion of the charging case. The glasses-retention portion defines an interior surface of the portable charging case, and the glasses-retention portion is configured to apply a resistance force to securely hold smart glasses along the interior surface. The portable charging case also includes a retention bracket that is coupled with the glasses-retention portion. The retention bracket is configured to apply a force to the nose pad of the smart glasses to hold the smart glasses in place to facilitate stable charging between electrical contacts of the charging case and other electrical contacts on the nose pad of the smart glasses.

  • Publication number: 20240283266
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for charging an artificial-reality headset and one or more controllers using a mechanically-stable, yet slim/lightweight design, is provided. The charging apparatus in one example includes a racetrack-shaped weighted base that includes a top surface and a bottom surface. An elongated cradle is mounted to the elongated base and is positioned entirely above the top surface of the racetrack-shaped weighted base. The elongated cradle includes metal contacts configured to engage with metal contacts of the headset and at least charge the headset. A first and a second controller dock are also mounted to the elongated base and are positioned entirely above the top surface of the racetrack-shaped weighted base. The controller docks are configured for wirelessly charging a first and a second controller.
