Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a housing with a cover having three-dimensional curvature. A front-facing display may be mounted to the cover and may display images through the cover. The cover may have a peripheral region laterally surrounding the front-facing display. An antenna may have an antenna resonating element layered onto the cover overlapping the peripheral region. The antenna may be switchable between different radiation patterns. A controller may gather wireless performance metric data for each of the radiation patterns. The antenna may be switched to exhibit a radiation pattern that optimizes the wireless performance metric data. This may serve to minimize interference from external devices operating using the same ultra-low-latency audio communications protocol as the antenna.

Abstract: An electronic device such as a head-mounted display device may include an antenna that radiates through a cover. The antenna may have a ground and an antenna resonating element layered onto the cover. The ground may include conductive structures separated from the resonating element by a volume. The device may include a fan that conveys air through a vent in a chassis of the electronic device through a tunnel. The tunnel may be free from conductive material and may extend through the volume of the antenna. The fan may include blades enclosed within metal walls. A conductive mesh may be coupled between the metal walls and may separate the blades from the tunnel. This may serve to extend the volume of the antenna to also include at least some of the volume of the fan, thereby maximizing efficiency bandwidth of the antenna without sacrificing thermal dissipation by the fan.

Abstract: A display system includes a controller and a head-mounted display. The head-mounted display includes a display, a head support coupled to the display for supporting the display on a head of a user to be viewed by the user, and sensors coupled to the head support for sensing an environment from the head-mounted display unit in low light. The sensors include one or more of an infrared sensor for sensing the environment with infrared electromagnetic radiation, or a depth sensor for sensing distances to objects of the environment, and also include an ultrasonic sensor for sensing the environment with ultrasonic sound waves. The controller determines graphical content according to the sensing of the environment with the one or more of the infrared sensor or the depth sensor and with the ultrasonic sensor, and operates the display to provide the graphical content concurrent with the sensing of the environment.

Abstract: A head-mountable device can include multiple microphones for directional audio detection. The head-mountable device can also include a speaker for audio output and/or a display for visual output. The head-mountable device can be configured to provide visual outputs based on audio inputs by displaying an indicator on a display based on a location of a source of a sound. The head-mountable device can be configured to audio outputs based on audio inputs by modifying an audio output of the speaker based on a detected sound and a target characteristic. Such characteristics can be based on a direction of a gaze of the user, as detected by an eye sensor.

Abstract: An input device, such as a hand-held stylus, can be used to receive inputs and track motion of a user in three-dimensional space, for example during a drawings session. The tip sensor can detect contact with an object by receiving a force toward a body of the stylus. Inputs from the user can be applied to a tip sensor of the stylus via an adapter. The inputs provided via the adapter can be different from inputs applied by contact with an object. Accordingly, the stylus can interpret the user inputs to initiate, terminate, or modify characteristics of the drawing session.

Abstract: An electronic device may have first and second rear-facing displays, a front-facing display, a cover layer at a front side with a central region overlapping the front-facing display and a peripheral region, and wireless circuitry with a transceiver and antennas. The transceiver may convey audio data with left and right earbuds using a non-Bluetooth low-latency-audio communications protocol. The antenna(s) may be mounted at a bottom side of the device overlapping the peripheral region, at a rear side of the device, or may be mounted to a head strap. The antenna(s) may be tilted to optimize field(s) of view, to match polarization of the earbuds, and/or to allow multiple antennas to exhibit orthogonal polarizations. The antennas may include a single antenna that concurrently conveys packets of audio data to both earbuds or may include first and second antennas that concurrently convey audio data to the left and right earbuds.

Abstract: An electronic device may have first and second rear-facing displays, a front-facing display, a cover at a front side overlapping the front-facing display, and an antenna that radiates through the cover. The antenna may be formed from sheet metal. The antenna may have a resonating element formed from a first portion of the sheet metal and an antenna ground that includes a second portion of the sheet metal separated from the first portion by a cavity. A third portion of the sheet metal may couple the first portion to the second portion and may be folded around the cavity to produce a spring force that presses the first portion against the cover. The first portion and the cover may have the same compound curvature. The second portion may form a conductive cavity for the antenna.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing that is configured to be worn on a head of a user. While the head-mounted device is being worn, left and right displays in optical modules in the head-mounted device may provide images to eye boxes located rearward of the head-mounted device. A forward-facing publicly viewable display on a front portion of the head-mounted device may be covered with a transparent housing portion forming a display cover layer. A dielectric member having a ring-shaped edge portion surrounding the publicly viewable display may be mounted under a corresponding edge portion of the display cover layer. A flexible printed circuit antenna with compound curvature may be laminated to the edge portion of the dielectric member.
