Abstract
A head-mountable device can be provided with selected components that are assembled to provide a variety of dimensions (e.g., sizes and shapes) for accommodating different users at different times. By detecting head features of a user and/or an eyewear device, a custom assembly for a head-mountable device can be determined to achieve a preferred fit. The custom assembly can be based on a range of available components and/or adjustable configurations thereof.
Claims20
An electronic device comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect one or more features of a head;
- and
- a processor configured to, in response to one or more detections of the one or more features of the head:
- determine a recommended nosepiece configuration of a head-mountable device from multiple nosepiece configurations having respective nosepiece dimensions that are different from each other;
- determine a recommended arm configuration of the head-mountable device from multiple arm configurations having respective arm dimensions that are different from each other;
- and
- provide an output including instructions to provide the head-mountable device with the recommended nosepiece configuration and the recommended arm configuration.
