Abstract
A head-mountable device can provide convertible components that selectively engage the face of the user to exclude light from an external environment or open to provide a direct view to the external environment. A head-mountable device can include a light seal element that includes peripheral portions that transition between extended and collapsed configurations while the head-mountable device is worn by a user. Such peripheral portions can also transition between configurations to facilitate compact storage of the head-mountable device.
