Abstract: The disclosed adjustable strap apparatus may include a left strap having a first rack member and a right strap having a second rack member. An electrical unit may have an opening through which a shaft passes. A pinion member may be affixed to a proximal end of the shaft and may be adapted to (a) engage the first rack member and the second rack member and (b) translate the first rack member and the second rack member in opposite directions via rotation of the shaft. A ratcheting member may be coupled to a distal end of the shaft and may include one or more pawls adapted to prevent rotation of the shaft when engaged. Various other methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: A linear actuation mechanism includes a first threaded rod rotatably fixed on a frame, an actuator mechanically coupled to the first threaded rod and configured to cause a rotation thereof, a first nut threaded onto the first threaded rod and attached to a first eyecup configured to hold a first optical element for a headset display, and a rail on the frame configured to support the first eyecup as it moves with the first nut. A headset including a display and two eyepieces supported by at least the first eyecup and the above linear actuation mechanism, and a method for using the linear actuation mechanism to adjust an inter-axial distance between the eyepieces are also provided.
