1. A head-mounted display system, comprising:
a left display assembly configured to provide left-side display light;
a first left inertial measurement unit (IMU) configured to measure an orientation of the left display assembly;
a right display assembly configured to provide right-side display light;
a first right IMU configured to measure an orientation of the right display assembly;
a communication interface configured to receive a left-side orientation of a head-tracking system as measured by a second left IMU, and a right-side orientation of a head-tracking system as measured by a second right IMU;
a logic machine configured to assess an alignment of the head-mounted display system based at least in part on the orientation of the left display assembly, the orientation of the right display assembly, the left-side orientation of the head-tracking system, and the right-side orientation of the head-tracking system.
