摘要： Disclosed are systems, methods, and devices for interfacing with a wearable heads-up display via a touch-operable input device. The wearable heads-up display may include a display element for receiving and displaying display information received from a processor, and may also include a wearable frame structure supporting the display element and having a side-arm extending away from the display element. In some embodiments, the display information may appear at least partially curved to a user. In some embodiments, only a portion of the display information is shown on the at least one display element. The side-arm may be configured to secure the heads-up display to a user's body in a manner such that the display element is disposed within a field of view of the user. The touch-operable input device secured to the wearable frame structure is configured to sense at least one of a position and movement of a touch or finger along a planar direction relative to a surface of the input device, and to provide corresponding input information to the processor. A navigation tool may also be displayed on the at least one display element for indicating the location of the touch on the touch-operable input device.

摘要： A thin film bone-conduction transducer for a head-mountable device is provided. In one example, the head-mountable device may include a head-mountable display that is configured to provide bone-conduction audio using one or more bone-conduction transducers. The head-mountable display may include at least one thin film piezoelectric vibration transducer that is configured to vibrate at least a portion of the head-mountable display based on the audio signal. The vibration transducer may be at least partially enclosed in, fully enclosed between, or a portion of an outer surface of the frame of the head-mountable display such that when the head-mountable display is worn, the head-mountable display contacts one or more surfaces of the wearer's head and provides information indicative of the audio signal to the wearer via vibration of a bone structure of the wearer.

摘要： Exemplary wearable computing systems may include a head-mounted display that is configured to provide indirect bone-conduction audio. For example, an exemplary head-mounted display may include at least one vibration transducer that is configured to vibrate at least a portion of the head-mounted display based on the audio signal. The vibration transducer is configured such that when the head-mounted display is worn, the vibration transducer vibrates the head-mounted display without directly vibrating a wearer. However, the head-mounted display structure vibrationally couples to a bone structure of the wearer, such that vibrations from the vibration transducer may be indirectly transferred to the wearer's bone structure.
