Abstract: A wearable electronic device can include optical assemblies for providing visual output to a user. The optical assemblies can include a central display as well as a light track that surrounds at least a portion of the central display. Primary information and images can be provided at the central display to be received at a center region of a user's vision. Supplemental content and/or information can be provided by operation of the light track, which can be operated with relatively simple controls. The supplemental content and/or information can be received at a peripheral region of the user's vision. Accordingly. the inner and outer images produced by the separate mechanisms of the optical assembly can provide a single continuous image for observation by the user.

Abstract: 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.
