Apparatus, system, and method for adjusting head-mounted-display straps

A head-mounted-display system comprising:

• a head-mounted display;
• a spring assembly comprising a compression spring with a restoring force;
• a strap comprising a distal section coupled to the head-mounted display and a proximal section coupled to the spring assembly such that:
• the strap is extendable, via deflection of the spring, away from the head-mounted display, and
• when a user is wearing the head-mounted display, the restoring force of the spring holds, via the strap, the head-mounted display against the user's face;
• a projection assembly that couples the spring assembly to the head-mounted display and via which the spring assembly is extendable away from the head-mounted display, wherein extending the spring assembly away from the head-mounted display via the projection assembly decompresses the spring;
• and
• a mount that couples the projection assembly to the head-mounted display.

A method comprising:

• securing, to a head-mounted display, a projection assembly;
• coupling a spring assembly comprising a compression spring with a restoring force to the head-mounted display via the projection assembly, wherein the spring assembly is extendable away from the head-mounted display via the projection assembly, and wherein extending the spring assembly away from the head-mounted display via the projection assembly decompresses the spring;
• coupling a distal section of a strap to the head-mounted display;
• and
• coupling a proximal section of the strap to the spring assembly such that:
• the strap is extendable, via deflection of the spring, away from the head-mounted display, and
• when a user is wearing the head-mounted display, the restoring force of the spring holds, via the strap, the head-mounted display against the user's face.
