Original Abstract Submitted
a head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. each optical assembly may have a support configured to support a display, a lens through which an image from the display is presented to an eye box for viewing, and a sensor. each support may have an opening configured to receive a guide rod along which the support slides to adjust where the optical assembly is positioned along that guide rod. each guide rod may include a position index such as a strip-shaped index formed from alternating magnetic poles or alternating light and dark regions. a magnetic sensor or optical sensor may monitor the position index as the support slides along the guide rod to determine the position of the support and optical assembly along the guide rod.
