Abstract
A facial-interface system for a head-mounted display may include (1) a facial interface, (2) a facial-interface mounting member, and (3) a facial-interface adjustment apparatus disposed between the facial interface and the facial-interface mounting member. The facial-interface adjustment apparatus may include (1) an adjustment base that includes a contact surface and (2) an adjustment protrusion that protrudes along an extension axis from the adjustment base to a protrusion end portion of the adjustment protrusion opposite the adjustment base. The adjustment protrusion may include an adjustment surface that is adjacent to the contact surface of the adjustment base. The adjustment protrusion may be rotatable relative to the adjustment base about the extension axis to move the adjustment protrusion axially along the extension axis between a plurality of holding positions relative to the adjustment base. Various other systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
