Abstract
A magnetically detachable head-mounted-display strap-interface apparatus may include (1) a strap that includes an electrical accessory that necessitates an electrical connection to a head-mounted display and (2) a mount coupled to the strap that includes (a) an interface that is mateable and demateable to an opposing interface of the head-mounted display, (b) an electrical connector that is configured to provide the electrical connection from the electrical accessory to the head-mounted display when contacting an opposing electrical connector of the head-mounted display, and (c) a magnetic element that magnetically couples the interface and the opposing interface of the head-mounted display by attracting an opposing magnetic element of the head-mounted display and enables the interface to be decoupled from the opposing interface of the head-mounted display and the electrical connector to be disconnected from the opposing electrical connector. Various other detachable head-mounted-display strap-interface devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
