A head-mounted display (HMD) apparatus includes a main body having a first surface facing a user's facial side, at least one connecting part connected to at least one surface of the main body, and a wearing part having a strap form, the wearing part being connected to the at least one connecting part and surrounding a portion of a head of the user such that the main body is held on the user's facial side. The main body includes a first support part extending from a portion of the first surface. The wearing part includes a second support part formed on an inner circumferential surface of a front portion of the wearing part facing a forehead of the user. The first support part and the second support part are supported on the user's forehead, thereby minimizing pressure exerted on zygomatic regions and relieving pressure and weight felt by the user.

Head-mounted display apparatus

An electronic device, capable of being placed on a cradle, may include a camera module configured to acquire an image, a sensor module configured to sense information regarding an orientation of the electronic device, a processor configured to determine a target orientation of the electronic device based on the acquired image and a communication module configured to transmit the information regarding the orientation of the electronic device and information regarding the target orientation of the electronic device to the cradle.

Electronic device and cradle thereof

An electronic device to be put on a cradle may include a housing including a part in a hemispherical shape and physically coming into contact with the cradle in an arbitrary position when the electronic device is put on the cradle, a display arranged on another part of the housing, a camera module to obtain an image in a direction that the display faces, a sensor module to sense an orientation of the electronic device; and a processor to determine a target orientation of the electronic device based on the obtained image, and create control data to change the orientation of the electronic device based on the sensed orientation and the target orientation of the electronic device.
