Abstract
A head-mounted display in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a display housing and one or more displays within the display housing. The display system further includes a first lens and a second lens, each being operably associated with the one or more displays. A lateral distance between the first and second lenses is adjustable to accommodate users having different interpupillary distances. The display system still further includes a flexible membrane having a region extending between the first and second lenses. The region of the membrane extending between the first and second lenses is configured to resiliently expand as the lateral distance between the first and second lenses increases and to resiliently contract as the lateral distance between the first and second lenses decreases.
