Abstract
A head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. Optical assembly positioning systems may be used to adjust the spacing between the optical assemblies to accommodate different interpupillary distances. The optical assembly positioning systems may have motors. Nose pressure sensors may be provided to detect nose pressure as optical assemblies are moved towards each other and towards nose surfaces by the motors. Motion of the optical assemblies can be halted whenever the detected nose pressure rises. The nose pressure sensors may each include an air pressure sensor and a pressure-sensing compressible air-filled chamber coupled to the air pressure sensor.
