• a motor coupled to the gear assembly, the motor able to engage the gear assembly to move the first display mount and second display mount closer together or to move the first display mount and the second display mount further apart based on a desired inter-lens distance determined based on the measured inter-pupillary distance of the user;
• and
• a communication interface coupled to the motor, the communication interface able to receive one or more signals from a remote computing device that drive the motor, the one or more signals causing the motor to adjust the first display mount and the second display mount to the desired inter-lens distance.
