Abstract:
A virtual or augmented reality headset that enables use while leaning backwards against a head support or lying down. The front goggles of the headset are relatively small and comfortable compared to typical bulky, heavy headsets that restrict head movement. The goggles are connected to a headband that is constructed from a soft, compliant material to function as a pillow when leaning the head back against a support. The size and weight of the headset may be further reduced by moving the batteries or other components to a separate module that may be for example worn around the neck. The goggles or headband may also contain speakers that direct sound to the ears via integrated directional sound paths while leaving the ears uncovered. The goggles may have an automated mechanism to adjust the distance between left and right lenses to match a user's intraocular distance.

Claim (Index 19):
A virtual reality headset that enables use with a rear head support, comprising:\n a goggle assembly comprising\n a housing configured to conform to a user's face, wherein a left edge of said housing is in front of said user's left ear, and a right edge of said housing is in front of said user's right ear; \n at least one display coupled to an inner surface of said housing and located between said housing and said user's face; \n a left lens coupled to said housing and located between said at least one display and a left eye of said user; and, \n a right lens coupled to said housing and located between said at least one display and a right eye of said user; \n an intraocular distance adjustment mechanism configured to\n obtain a desired intraocular distance for said user from a database; and, \n actuate a relative motion between said left lens and said right lens to make said distance between said left lens and said right lens substantially equal to said desired intraocular distance for said user; \n \n a left side expansion spring; and, \n a right side expansion spring; \n a headband configured to conform to a back side of said user's head and secure said goggle assembly to said user's head when said user's head is supported from the rear or side, wherein\n said headband comprises a compliant inner surface material configured to contact a back of said user's head; and, \n said compliant inner surface material comprises an Indentation Load Deflection rating of 10 pounds or less; \n a left connector coupled to a left side of said headband and to said left side expansion spring; a right connector coupled to a right side of said headband and to said right side expansion spring; at least one vibration actuator located in one or both of said goggle assembly and said headband; a left speaker coupled to said left side of said goggle assembly or to said left side of said headband; a right speaker coupled to said right side of said goggle assembly or to said right side of said headband; a left side sound path located in said left side of said goggle assembly or said left side of said headband and configured to direct audio from said left speaker towards said user's left ear; a right side sound path located in said right side of said goggle assembly or said right side of said headband and configured to direct audio from said right speaker towards said user's right ear; a power supply assembly comprising one or more batteries and configured to be coupled to a part of said user's body other than said user's head; and, a power cable coupled to said power supply assembly and coupled to one or both of said goggle assembly and said headband.
