A headset for experiencing an augmented and/or a virtual reality environment may include a housing defining an interior cavity, with optical components received in the interior cavity of the housing. A front face may be rotatably coupled to a front portion of the housing to selectively enclose the interior of the housing. A computing device including a display may be received in a slot defined between the front portion of the housing and the front face. A face pad may be removably coupled to the housing, opposite the front face, so as to enclose the optical components in the housing. A user may view an augmented/virtual reality environment displayed on the display through the optical components received in the housing. An adjustable head strap assembly may adjustably position the headset on the head of the user.

Augmented and/or virtual reality headset

In one general aspect, a method can include receiving, by a first computing device from a virtual reality (VR) headset, data indicative of a position of a second computing device, rendering, by the first computing device, an aspect of the second computing device for inclusion in a VR space based on the position of the second computing device, and integrating the rendered aspect of the second computing device with content for display as integrated content in the VR space. The method can further include providing the integrated content to the VR headset for display on a screen included in the VR headset, receiving data indicative of an interaction of a user with the second computing device, and based on the received data indicative of the interaction of the user with the second computing device, altering the content for display as integrated content in the VR space.

Phone control and presence in virtual reality

In one general aspect, a system for providing a virtual reality (VR) space can include a mobile computing device, and a VR headset operatively coupled to the mobile computing device and including a screen. The mobile computing device can be configured to execute a VR application, and provide content for display on the screen of the VR headset in the VR space.
