A mounting system (100) suitable for use with user interface devices (200) and methods for manufacturing and using same. The mounting system can be installed at any suitable location and, once installed, can receive and engage a selected user interface device. The user interface (200) device thereby can select and present viewing content and, when not in use, can be stowed in a manner that does not interfere with the user. Being provided as modular units, a malfunctioning user interface device can be easily removed from the mounting system (100) and replaced with another user interface device (200), minimizing inconvenience to the user and facilitating repairs. Since the user interface devices are produced with a common form factor, each user interface device (200) can, without modification, be received by, and engaged by, any other installed mounting system (100). Thereby, only one version of the user interface device (200) needs to be produced, purchased, and inventoried. |
