Abstract

A mechanism for adjusting an apparatus for the inter-pupilar distance of a user is disclosed. Example embodiments of the disclosed mechanism use gears that link the movements of eye-optics and reflectors placed along the optical path. When the eye-optics are adjusted, this movement causes a movement in the linked reflectors that maintains a constant length for the optical path.
