Embodiment Construction

[0010] In the following description of the embodiments, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a fuller understanding. Note, however, that the embodiments may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well known features have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily complicating the description.

[0011] These embodiments are described herein with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numbers indicate identical or functionally similar elements. Also, in the figures, the leftmost digit of each reference number corresponds to the figure in which that reference number is first used.

[0012] The embodiments relate to a removable face interface for a head mounted display. Removable facial interfaces include perimeter frames, semi-rigid frames, and facial interface foam. A perimeter frame and a semi-rigid frame are attached to the facial interface foam to enable the facial interface foam to flex in...

Abstract

Embodiments relate to a facial interface in a head-mount display. The facial interface assembly is comprised of three separate layers of various materials that are contoured to assemble into a removable facial interface that may be replaced in the event that it becomes worn due to use. The facial interface assembly is composed of a periphery frame, a semi-rigid frame, and facial interface foam. These three layers are of varying rigidity, and support contours designed to fit together in a flush manner comprising a removable facial interface assembly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a head-mounted display (HMD), and more particularly, to a facial interface in an HMD. Background technique [0002] Head-mounted displays can be used to provide augmented and / or virtual information to the user. For example, a virtual reality (VR) headset can be used to simulate a virtual environment. HMDs are used in a variety of fields, some of which include gaming, engineering, pharmaceuticals, and aviation. [0003] Because the HMD is designed to be worn on the user's head, it typically includes an area that makes physical contact with the user's face. For user comfort, this area is typically composed of low density foam, or other materials designed to minimize irritation to the user's skin. However, given that this low density area is repeatedly exposed to friction, oil, and / or chemicals on the user's face, this low density area may be subject to wear to a greater extent than other components on the HMD. Also, ...
