ADJUSTABLE HEAD SECUREMENT FOR HEAD-MOUNTABLE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18665428 titled 'ADJUSTABLE HEAD SECUREMENT FOR HEAD-MOUNTABLE DEVICE
The present disclosure describes systems that offer a head-mountable device with a head securement element, allowing users to adjust the forces applied to their face.
- Users can control the tilt of the head-mountable device relative to the head securement element.
- Users can also adjust the tightness of the head securement element.
- These adjustments enable users to select a comfortable fit that distributes forces evenly and allows for longer periods of use.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality headsets - Augmented reality devices - Industrial headgear - Medical head-mounted equipment
Problems Solved: - Discomfort from poorly fitting head-mounted devices - Inability to customize the fit of head-mounted devices
Benefits: - Enhanced comfort for users - Improved user experience with head-mounted devices - Increased usability for extended periods
Commercial Applications: Title: Customizable Head-Mounted Devices for Enhanced Comfort and Usability This technology can be applied in various industries such as virtual reality gaming, medical simulations, industrial training, and more. The ability to customize the fit of head-mounted devices can lead to increased user satisfaction and adoption.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the adjustable head securement element improve user comfort? 2. What industries can benefit the most from this customizable head-mounted device technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems of the present disclosure can provide a head-mountable device with a head securement element that allows a user to adjust both the magnitude, location, and direction of forces applied to the face of the user. Examples of adjustment mechanisms described herein allow a user to control the tilt of the head-mountable device relative to a head securement element, as well as the tightness of the head securement element. Accordingly, the user can select a fit that distributes forces widely, maximizes comfort, allows the user to enjoy the head-mountable device for longer durations of time.
