Original Abstract Submitted
a head-mountable device can include modules that provide vision correction and operable connections between the modules. by providing head-mountable devices with modular features, certain lens assemblies can provide the desired vision correction for any given user and facilitate exchange with a different lens assembly for a different user. the lens assembly can identify itself and/or a feature thereof (e.g., vision correction and/or user identification) via an operable connection through the optical assembly onto which it attaches. by providing the operable connection through the optical assembly, part count, weight, complexity, and install procedures can be reduced. by sealing the cable providing the operable connect from an external environment, the reliability and robustness of the connection can be enhanced.
