1. A head-mounted display to be worn by a user, comprising:
a housing;
a headband configured to secure the housing to a head of the user;
a hand presence sensor configured to detect a hand of the user; and
an adjustment mechanism configured to:
loosen the headband relative to the housing in response to a first output signal from the hand presence sensor, the first output signal representing that the hand of the user is detected by the hand presence sensor; and
tighten the headband relative to the housing in response to a second output signal from the hand presence sensor, the second output signal representing that the hand of the user has ceased being detected by the hand presence sensor.
