Abstract

In some embodiments, a head-mounted display device includes an optics block and a varifocal actuation system coupled to the optics block. The varifocal actuation system utilizes at least one of a tandem retaining configuration, a tandem guidance system, and a tandem preload configuration to minimize parasitic motion errors associated with the head-mounted display device. In some embodiments, the tandem retaining configuration includes a hooking structure or a washer-based structure, the tandem guidance system includes an anti-creep system, and the tandem preload configuration includes a preload magnet and a preload target.
