Abstract

An example MR headset is provided. The MR headset includes a two-part housing configured to house electronic and mechanical components used to present MR content, the two-part housing including a first part of the two-part housing and a second part of the two-part housing. And the MR headset includes a channel defined by a first perimeter of the first part of the two-part housing and a second perimeter of the second part of the two-part housing. The channel is configured to guide perspiration along the first perimeter of the first part or the second perimeter of the second part away from the electronic and mechanical components housed in the two-part housing.
