    Abstract: An input device, such as a hand-held stylus, can be used to receive inputs and track motion of a user in three-dimensional space, for example during a drawings session. The tip sensor can detect contact with an object by receiving a force toward a body of the stylus. Inputs from the user can be applied to a tip sensor of the stylus via an adapter. The inputs provided via the adapter can be different from inputs applied by contact with an object. Accordingly, the stylus can interpret the user inputs to initiate, terminate, or modify characteristics of the drawing session.

    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 a first polarization state and a second polarization state. In the first polarization state, the antenna conveys radio-frequency signals having a first polarization with an earbud. In the second polarization state, the antenna conveys radio-frequency signals having a second polarization with the earbud. One or more processors may gather wireless performance metric data from the radio-frequency signals and may adjust the antenna between the polarization states to optimize the wireless performance metric data.

    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: A wearable apparatus includes a head-mountable display frame, a first mechanical stop, a cover glass, a second mechanical stop, and a cable. The head-mountable display frame includes a first interface portion defining a first channel. The first mechanical stop is defined by the head-mountable display frame. The cover glass is attachable to the head-mountable display frame and includes a second interface portion defining a second channel. The second mechanical stop is defined by the cover glass, and is positionable against the first mechanical stop when the first interface portion is mated to the second interface portion, and the first interface portion and the second interface portion define a lumen. The cable is disposed along at least a portion of the lumen.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have first and second rear-facing displays, a front-facing display, a cover layer at a front side with a central region overlapping the front-facing display and a peripheral region, and wireless circuitry with a transceiver and antennas. The transceiver may convey audio data with left and right earbuds using a non-Bluetooth low-latency-audio communications protocol. The antenna(s) may be mounted at a bottom side of the device overlapping the peripheral region, at a rear side of the device, or may be mounted to a head strap. The antenna(s) may be tilted to optimize field(s) of view, to match polarization of the earbuds, and/or to allow multiple antennas to exhibit orthogonal polarizations. The antennas may include a single antenna that concurrently conveys packets of audio data to both earbuds or may include first and second antennas that concurrently convey audio data to the left and right earbuds.

    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 sheet metal. The antenna may have a resonating element formed from a first portion of the sheet metal and an antenna ground that includes a second portion of the sheet metal separated from the first portion by a cavity. A third portion of the sheet metal may couple the first portion to the second portion and may be folded around the cavity to produce a spring force that presses the first portion against the cover. The first portion and the cover may have the same compound curvature. The second portion may form a conductive cavity for the antenna.

    Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing that is configured to be worn on a head of a user. While the head-mounted device is being worn, left and right displays in optical modules in the head-mounted device may provide images to eye boxes located rearward of the head-mounted device. A forward-facing publicly viewable display on a front portion of the head-mounted device may be covered with a transparent housing portion forming a display cover layer. A dielectric member having a ring-shaped edge portion surrounding the publicly viewable display may be mounted under a corresponding edge portion of the display cover layer. A flexible printed circuit antenna with compound curvature may be laminated to the edge portion of the dielectric member.
