Abstract

A wearable display apparatus comprises a support structure for supporting a display (6), in use, above a wearer's (2) head; and a weight-bearing torso support for supporting the support structure, the torso support being arranged to extend, in use, around the wearer's torso below the level of the wearer's arms. The support structure comprises a yoke (12) arranged to sit on the wearer's shoulders; and at least one support member extending from the display to the wearer's shoulders and from there to the torso support. Where it extends over the wearer's shoulders, the support member bears on the yoke to distribute the weight of the apparatus between the yoke and the torso support.
