Original Abstract Submitted
A fitting device that can be worn by a user to facilitate detection of the user's features and guide the user to selecting components (e.g., modules) of a head-mountable device that will provide the best fit when assembled together. By providing head-mountable devices with modular features, certain modules can provide a custom fit without requiring the entire head-mountable device to be custom fitted to each user. An electronic device can be operated to guide a user to select the optimal components, such as a face seal and/or head engager for use with an HMD module.
