1. A near-eye display system, comprising:
an optics module comprising a projector operable to generate angularly encoded light beams, and a camera operable to capture images of an environment, wherein the optics module is operable to convey at least a portion of the light beams to an eyebox;
an electronics module having a controller in electrical connection with the optics module;
a mounting module located between the electronics module and the optics module, wherein the electronics module is coupled with the optics module via the mounting module; and
a first pivot located between the optics module and the electronics module, wherein the optics module is rotatable relative to the electronics module about a first axis,
wherein at least a portion of the optics module is rotatable relative to the electronics module about a second axis oriented transverse to the first axis,
wherein the electronics module comprises first and second opposing surfaces, wherein at least a portion of the optics module extends in a first direction, parallel to the second axis, relative to the first surface, and wherein at least a portion of the optics module extends in a second direction opposite the first direction, parallel to the second axis, relative to the second surface.
