1. A head-mounted computing device comprising:
a processor;
a battery;
a bridge member configured to be located around a posterior portion of a user's head in a worn position; and
a first temple member and a second temple member, each having a corresponding first end hingedly coupled to opposing ends of the bridge member, and a corresponding second end,
the second end of the first temple member presenting:
a mechanical coupling member adapted to secure a peripheral device thereto via translation of a locking mechanism of the peripheral device along at least one protruding tab of the mechanical coupling member from the second end toward the first end, and
a hardware interface adapted to couple the peripheral device to the processor when the peripheral device is secured to the second end corresponding to the first temple member via the mechanical coupling member.
