Abstract: An electronic device such as a head-mounted display device may include an antenna that radiates through a cover. The antenna may have an antenna resonating element layered onto the cover and having a three-dimensional curvature. The antenna resonating element may have an antenna ground. A pressure-activated connector may electrically couple the antenna resonating element to the antenna ground. If desired, the pressure-activated connector may lock the antenna resonating element to the antenna ground. The pressure-activated connector may include a metal finger, a metal spring, a metal ball, a curling metal receptacle, a dimple, a metal screw, a screw receptacle, metal burs, and/or rotational locking structures. The pressure-activated connector may form a robust mechanical connection between the first and second conductors despite the curvature of the antenna resonating element, which minimizes electrical discontinuities that can otherwise deteriorate antenna performance.

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: 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 traces on a flexible printed circuit. The antenna may be provided with a conductive shield on a dielectric carrier. The flexible printed circuit may be mounted to the carrier opposite the shield. A biasing member may be mounted to the carrier and may press the flexible printed circuit against the cover. To minimize weight of the device, the shield may be formed from conductive traces patterned onto the carrier. The carrier may include first and second substrates formed from respective shots of co-molded plastic. The second substrate may include plateable grade plastic and the conductive traces may be patterned onto plateable outer surfaces of the second substrate opposite the first substrate.

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 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.
