Abstract

A head-mounted device includes a display device that is configured to display content to a user, a support structure including a contact pad configured to engage a face of the user to support the display device with respect to the face of the user, a sensor that generates a sensor output signal, and a tension adjuster configured to move the contact pad relative to the support structure based on the sensor output signal to restrain motion of the display device with respect to the face of the user.
