A head-mounted display comprising:

• a display unit having a display for displaying graphical content to a user;
• and
• a facial interface coupled to the display unit and configured to engage a face of the user for supporting the display unit thereon, the facial interface including discrete engagement regions comprising elastomeric structures mechanically interconnected by a sprung ring extending therethrough, each of the discrete engagement regions being configured to engage a respective facial region of the user, the discrete engagement regions including:
• a first discrete engagement region configured to engage a first facial region of the user;
• and
• a second discrete engagement region configured to engage a second facial region of the user,
• wherein the first discrete engagement region is configured to apply a first pressure to the first facial region of the user and the second discrete engagement region is configured to apply a second pressure to the second facial region of the user that is different than the first pressure to conform the facial interface to the face of the user.

A head-mounted display comprising:

• a display unit having a display for displaying graphical content to a user;
• a controller;
• a facial interface coupled to the display unit and configured to engage a face of the user to support the display unit thereon, the facial interface including discrete engagement regions that are each configured to engage a respective facial region of the region, user;
• and
• force distributors that are each configured to apply a force to a respective one of the discrete engagement regions,
• wherein at least one of the force distributors is selectively operated by the controller to change the force applied by the at least one of the force distributors to the respective one of the discrete engagement regions in response to a change in the graphical content displayed by the display.
