Abstract
A head-mounted-display adjustment apparatus may include a spring assembly that includes a spring with a restoring force. The adjustment apparatus may also include a strap with a distal section coupled to a head-mounted display and a proximal section coupled to the spring assembly such that (i) the strap is extendable, via deflection of the spring, away from the head-mounted display, and (ii) when a user is wearing the head-mounted display, the restoring force of the spring holds, via the strap, the head-mounted display against the user's face. The adjustment apparatus may additionally include a projection assembly that couples the spring assembly to the head-mounted display and via which the spring assembly is extendable away from the head-mounted display. The adjustment apparatus may further include a mount that couples the projection assembly to the head-mounted display. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
