An inflatable light box includes securing plates and panels in association with upper and lower interior connecting planks when coupled to a cylindrical barrel in which an inflatable airbag is disposed, and encompassed by a decorative cover, form a housing for an inflatable light apparatus.

A method for production of window elements which can be soldered into a housing in a hermetically tight manner with optical coating and free-form window elements are disclosed. After application of optical coatings, a protective layer is applied to the optical coating, the two layer systems are selectively removed by means of a machining beam of high-energy radiation for the purpose of ablation of a desired optically active free-form surface for window elements with any geometric shape through a localized machining beam in edge regions of the optically active free-form surface such that the protective layer remains on the optical coating as lift-off mask which is lifted off after applying a metallization for a solder layer by an etching process that acts selectively only on the protective layer but not on the optical coating, and the metallization remains only on the peripheral edge regions circumscribing the free-form surfaces.

A venting system for an electronic headset including a fan to be disposed on an outer surface of the electronic headset, a channel to receive air from the fan and direct air toward an outlet. An air channel ring may be mountable to the electronic headset. The air channel ring receives air from the outlet and directs air to an interior portion of the electronic headset.

An HMD includes a mounting band for surrounding a head H of a user. The mounting band includes a case, a stretching unit, an adjustment mechanism that adjusts a length of the stretching unit to be accommodated in the case by relatively moving the stretching portion with respect to the case, a winding target member, and a spring member which is fixed at a front portion thereof to the stretching unit and at a rear portion thereof wound on the winding target member and in which an unwinding amount from the winding target member changes according to the length of the stretching unit accommodated in the case. The spring member generates elastic force that acts in a direction in which the stretching portion is accommodated into the case. A first elastic force of the spring member generated by a first unwinding amount and a second elastic force of the spring member generated by a second unwinding amount are equal to each other.

A head mounted display system for use with a mobile computing device includes a main body configured to be worn on a human head. A lens assembly within the main body includes a first lens configured to focus vision of a wearer on a first area of a display of the mobile computing device when the mobile computing device is secured to the main body. A first contact point disposed in a fixed position relative to the first lens is configured to contact a surface of the display when the mobile computing device is secured to the main body. The first contact point is detectable by the mobile computing device and usable by the mobile computing device to derive a position of the display relative to the at least one lens.

Head-mounted display systems and methods of operation that allow users to couple and decouple a portable electronic device such as a handheld portable electronic device with a separate head-mounted device (e.g., temporarily integrates the separate devices into a single unit) are disclosed. The portable electronic may be physically coupled to the head-mounted device such that the portable electronic device can be worn on the user's head. The portable electronic device may be operatively coupled to the head-mounted device such that the portable electronic device and head mounted device can communicate and operate with one another. Each device may be allowed to extend its features and/or services to the other device for the purpose of enhancing, increasing and/or eliminating redundant functions between the head-mounted device and the portable electronic device.
