A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted support structure. The head-mounted support may support optical systems. The optical systems may be display systems that provide images to eye boxes. A user may view images from the display systems when the user's eyes are located in the eye boxes. The head-mounted support structure is bent due to pressure from a user's head while the head-mounted support structure is being worn by the user. Spring hinges or other structures may be used to supply a constant bending force to the head-mounted support structure over a range of head sizes. When the head-mounted support structure is in an unbent configuration, the images will be misaligned with respect to the eye boxes and each other. When the head-mounted support structure is being worn and the head-mounted support structure is being bent, the images will be aligned satisfactorily.
A head-mounted device, comprising:
A pair of glasses configured to display a left image for a user in a left eye box and a right image for the user in a right eye box while the user views real-world objects, the glasses comprising:
A head-mounted device configured to be worn on a user's head, the head-mounted device comprising:
