A head-mounted device may be worn on the face of a user. The head-mounted device may include a user-viewable display that presents inwardly directed user-viewable images such as virtual reality images to the user. The head-mounted device may also have a publicly viewable display that presents publicly viewable images to individuals near the user. The publicly viewable images may overlap facial features of the user's face. Publicly viewable images may include captured images of user facial features or other content, may include computer-generated graphics such as user facial feature graphics, may contain a mixture of captured image content and overlaid graphics such as user facial feature graphics, or may contain other publicly viewable content. User monitoring sensors such as camera and gaze detection sensors, environmental sensors, and other circuitry in the head-mounted device may gather information that is used in adjusting the publicly viewable images.

Head-mounted device with publicly viewable display

A head-mountable display device includes a housing defining a front opening and a rear opening, a display screen disposed in the front opening, a display assembly disposed in the rear opening, a first securement strap coupled to the housing, the first securement strap including a first electronic component, a second securement strap coupled to the housing, the second securement strap including a second electronic component, and a securement band extending between and coupled to the first securement strap and the second securement strap.

Head mountable display

Wearable head-mounted displays, such as virtual reality systems, present immersive experiences and environments to a wearer. However, the head-mounted displays, as well as the immersive environments that they produce, limit the wearer's ability to interact with outside observers. For example, a wearer may not be able to see outside observers, and outside observers may not have any insight to what the wearer is experiencing or where the wearer's attention is directed. Accordingly, a wearable electronic device may include an outward-facing display configured to display information to outside observers, such as images of the wearer's face or images that represent or indicate the state of the wearer and/or the head mounted display.
