Abstract:
A head-mountable device can provide a crown module having an input system that allows a user to provide inputs by rotating or otherwise applying torque to a crown of the crown module. The head-mountable device can interpret the rotation and/or torque as a user input. The crown module can further include a feedback system that provides localized haptic feedback at the crown. The haptic feedback can be effectively perceived by the user at the crown without causing the entire head-mountable device to vibrate against the head and/or face of the user.
