Abstract
A detachable head-mounted-display cushion may include a cushion layer having a user-side surface dimensioned to abut a facial portion of a user and a display-side surface dimensioned to abut a mounting surface of a facial-interface system for a head-mounted display. The detachable head-mounted-display cushion may also include a magnetic-coupling mechanism configured to removably attach the cushion layer to the mounting surface of the facial-interface system. A corresponding head-mounted-display system may include a head-mounted display, a facial-interface mounting member for the head-mounted display, a cushion layer abutting the facial-interface mounting member, and a magnetic-coupling mechanism removably attaching the cushion layer to the facial-interface mounting member. A method may include positioning a cushion layer abutting a facial-interface mounting member for a head-mounted display and removably attaching the cushion layer to the facial-interface mounting member with a magnetic-coupling mechanism. Various other head-mounted-display cushions, head-mounted-display systems, and methods are also disclosed.
