An electronic device includes a display and a band configured to be worn on the head of a user. The band defines a display end to which the display is affixed and extends from the display end to a free end. The band is adjustable such that it can be configured by a user to contact the head of the user at a first location near a temple, a second location along a portion of the user's ear adjacent the temple, and at a third location along a rear portion of the head of the user. The display end is positionable away from the head such that the display element is suspended over an eye adjacent the temple. The band is further configured to maintain the configuration. The device also includes image generating means within the band for generating an image presentable to the user on the display.

1. An electronic device, comprising: a display;a band configured to be worn on a head of a user and over only one ear of the user, the band defining a display end to which the display is affixed, the band extending from the display end to a free end, the band including an inner member and an outer member, the outer member having a general shape that defines a temple portion adjacent the display end, a scoop portion adjacent the free end, and an ear portion between the temple portion and the scoop portion, wherein the general shape is deformable and changes from a first shape to a second shape that corresponds to a shape of the head of the user, the band being configured to secure the display to the head of the user such that the user can configure the band in an adjusted shape such that the scoop portion contacts a rear portion of the head of the user and conforms to at least a portion of the rear portion of the head, the ear portion contacts a portion of an ear of the user, and the temple portion contacts a portion of a temple of the user adjacent the ear, and such that the display element is suspended over an eye of the user adjacent the temple, the inner member permitting deformation of the outer member and facilitating retention of the outer member in the adjusted shape; andimage generating means configured for generating an image presentable to the user on the display, the image generating means disposed within the band,wherein the inner member includes a volume of magnetorheological fluid that is configured such that the inner member retains the outer member in the adjusted shape in the presence of a magnetic field above a retention threshold and permits adjustment to the general shape of the outer member in the presence of a magnetic field below the retention threshold. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the outer member includes an outside surface, and wherein the band further includes touch-based input circuitry disposed therein such that a portion of the outside surface acts as a touch-based input configured for receiving, from the user, an input associated with a function, the function being related to information that is presentable on the display. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the outer member comprises a molded thermoplastic elastomer. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the inner member includes armature wire. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the inner member is elastically deformable below a first yield point of a first material comprising the at least the portion of the inner member and plastically deformable above the first yield point, and wherein the outer member is elastically deformable below a second yield point of a second material comprising the outer member, the second yield point being greater than the first yield point. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the first yield point allows the inner member to elastically deform when being worn by the user in the adjusted configuration. 7. The device of claim 5, wherein the first yield point allows the inner member to be elastically deformed during removal of the device from the head of the user. 8. The device of claim 1, wherein the inner member includes a plurality of rigid sections on opposing ends of at least one malleable section such that the inner member permits adjustment to the general shape of the outer member in at least one adjustment area adjacent the malleable section, while limiting such adjustment in areas adjacent the rigid sections. 9. The device of claim 8, further including one or more electronic components, and wherein at least one of the rigid sections includes a housing in which at least one of the one or more electronic components is retained. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein the inner member includes a stiffening member disposed on the at least one malleable section.
