Original Abstract Submitted

an artificial-reality headset comprises a first lens assembly coupled with a first shape guide, and a second lens assembly coupled with a second shape guide. the artificial-reality headset comprises an interpupillary-distance (ipd) adjustment system that moves one or both of the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly to produce a first ipd between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly, and a second ipd between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly. a membrane is included, and the membrane is in contact with the first and second shape guides such that: when the first ipd is produced between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly, a number of creases in the portions of the membrane is a first number, and when the second ipd is produced between the first lens assembly and the second lens assembly, no new creases are introduced.
