ABSTRACT:
A support is shown for an image display system that is to be worn on a user's head. The image display system includes an image generating module with at least one optical element into which a user looks to view a generated image and an electronics module, both of these modules being removably mountable on the support. The support includes a head hugging member having a front portion, a pair of side portions, a top portion and a back portion integrally formed from a material with multidirectional elasticity so that the side, top and back portions conform to and hug the user's head. The support also includes a rigid bill secured to the front portion of the head hugging member so that it extends outwardly from a user's forehead for providing a rigid support onto which the image generating module is mounted. Whereas the image generating module is mounted on the front of the support, the electronics module is removably mounted on a back portion of the support to provide a head mounted display system the weight of which is distributed over the user's entire head. In a second embodiment the support is formed of a cloth cap with a rigid bill for supporting the image generating module.
