Original Abstract Submitted

A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing. The head-mounted housing may have displays that display images for a user. The images are viewable from eye boxes while the head-mounted device is being worn by the user. A head strap may be removably coupled to the head-mounted housing to help hold the displays in position during operation of the head-mounted device. The head strap and head-mounted housing may have wireless power circuitry and communications circuitry. The wireless power circuitry may be used to transmit power from a battery in the head strap to the head-mounted housing. The communications circuitry may include wireless radio-frequency circuitry and/or optical circuitry that allow the head strap to convey wireless data to the head-mounted housing. The head-mounted housing may also transmit power and/or data to the strap.
