ABSTRACT:
A body-mountable display system having a first structure for receiving an input signal and producing a video output in response thereto, a garment wearable by a user, and a second structure for operatively connecting the first structure to the garment to allow the first structure to be universally repositionable relative to the garment. The first structure includes a hand-holdable portable display including a housing having a viewing aperture for viewing the video output. The second structure includes a flexible element having spaced ends with one end pivotally mounted to the garment and the other end including a structure for detachably mounting the portable display to the flexible element. The portable display may include a portable virtual image display for focusing the video output at one of (a) infinity and (b) a desired finite distance viewable by an observer. The body-mountable display system may include, in combination, a computer producing the input signal. The body-mountable display system may include a computer mouse formed on the portable display or garment for controlling operation of the computer.
