    Abstract: A head-mounted device includes a housing configured to be worn on a head of a user. The housing includes an inlet port and an outlet port. An air circulation device is mounted to the housing and configured to produce a flow of air through an air flow path in the housing that extends from the inlet port to the outlet port. A display assembly is mounted to the housing and has a surface in the air flow path of the housing. An air deflector mounted to the surface of the display assembly and configured to reduce a turbulence of the flow of air through the air flow path.

    Abstract: A sensor assembly for a head-mountable device, the sensor assembly comprising: a flex circuit, an inertial measurement unit coupled to the flex circuit, an enclosure disposed around the inertial measurement unit and a portion of the flex circuit, to define a sealed volume containing the inertial measurement unit and the portion of the flex circuit. Thereby, a head-mountable device can securely support sensors in a manner that maintains their positions and orientations over time and isolates the sensors from an external environment. The sensor can be mounted within a sealed enclosure while maintaining an operable connection to the sensor. The sensor assemblies provides high robustness during the entirety of the service life of the head-mountable device without placing strain on the sensors themselves. The seal of the enclosure can isolate the sensor from external influences by preventing ingress of elements through the case and plate.

    Abstract: An external device, such as a head-mountable device, can be operated with a ring input device worn on a finger of a user. Such devices can be operated to provide inputs that are received and acted upon by the external device. The inputs can be provided as rotating, tilting, and/or sliding at least a portion of the ring input device with another finger of the user. The ring input device can provide feedback to the user as confirmation that the inputs are being received. A feedback system can also be operated to limit or otherwise provide a force on the finger and/or another portion of the hand to simulate sensations perceived by the user.

    Abstract: This application relates to illuminated dome switches and a dome switch assembly having a first contact carried by a switch base and a dome shaped structure coupled to and supported by the switch base, the dome shaped structure comprising a material that is flexible and capable of internally transmitting visible light. The switch assembly can include a second contact coupled to the dome shaped structure and arranged opposite the first contact, and a light source configured to emit visible light, the light source in optical communication with the dome shaped structure such that at least some of the visible light emitted by the light source passes into the material and is subsequently emitted by the material in a generally uniform manner.
