Head-mountable display system

Various embodiments of a head-mountable display system can be adapted to allow users to see through or above or below the display assembly. Such range of vision can be achieved by positioning the display assembly into display pods housed in clear plastic; forming the frame into an "S"-shape positioned on the bridge of the nose so as to allow the user to see over it; positioning retractable display pods into a hard support frame, or other means. Various parts of the head-mountable display system, such as temple arms, ear phones, display assembly, and the head band, can be modified so as to achieve ergonomically optimal solution.
