Thenose pad 6 projects toward the face of the user of the HMD device 1. According to the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 , the top 7 of thenose pad 6 has agroove 8 parallel to the housing of the HMD device 1. - When the user puts on the HMD device of
FIG. 1 , or wears it on his head, the temples 5 are supported by the ears and the nose pad is supported by the nose, so that the HMD device is worn like ordinary glasses. -
FIG. 2 shows thelens holding frame 10. - According to an embodiment, the lens holding frame has a general rectangular form, with a total length of 110 to 120 mm, and the total width of 30 to 40 mm. Preferably, each lens is of general rectangular form with a height of 17 to 18 mm and a width of 33.5 mm. The thickness of the frame may be adapted to the thickness of the lenses. According to an embodiment, the thickness of the frame is of 1 to 5 mm, preferably 1.75 mm. The lens holding frame may be curved. Preferably, the neutral radius of the curve is of about 90 to 110°. According to an embodiment, the neutral radius is of 104.6.
- According to a particular embodiment, the lens holding frame comprises a
nose bridge 11 with acentral hump 12, two lenses, at least one being a correction lens. Preferably, the length of the nose bridge is of 25 to 40 mm, preferably 30-38 mm. - Each lens may be mounted on a rim, welded on one side to the nose bridge, and on the other side to a connecting
rod 14. The length of each rim is adapted to the length of the lens. - The connecting
rods 14 may extend downwardly, orthogonally with regard to the rims to which they are welded, and are preferably deviated from the verticality of about 10°. - Considering that the
nose bridge 11 of thelens holding frame 10 is laid onto thenose pad 6 of the HMD device 1, thelens holding frame 10 may then be urged down by the user, using the resiliency of the material constituting thelens holding frame 10, towards the bottom 4 of thehousing 2 of the HMD device 1. - The connection of the
lens holding frame 10 to the HMD device 1 may be effected by engaging thenose bridge 11 of thelens holding frame 10 in thegroove 8 located on the top 7 of thenose pad 6 and by flexing downwardly the opposite ends of the lens holding frame and pushing them for engagement of the lower part of the rods 7 beneath the HMD device (1). - The rods 7 are preferably in the form of an S, the upper part of the S being welded to the
rim 13, the central part of the S extending downwardly vertically, and the end of the S being essentially orthogonal of the central part of the S and extending toward the bottom 4 of the housing 1. The rods 7 may form an angle of about 5 to 30° to the vertical plan of the lens holding frame. The length of the rods shall be adapted to the housing. In an embodiment, the length of the rods is of 14 to 15 mm. -
FIG. 3 shows an example of a nose pad, having a lens holding frame on it.
