THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF ELECTRONIC HEADSETS

摘要

Systems and methods relate to thermal management of electronic headsets, such as virtual reality headsets. An electronic headset includes a body which can hold a processing system. A heat spreader is attached to the body, wherein the heat spreader includes a chimney. The chimney is designed to dissipate heat generated by the processing system. The heat spreader can be controlled to extend the chimney based on the heat perceived on external surfaces of the electronic headset which can come in contact with a user's skin. The chimney includes an air gap and provides a passive cooling system.
