1. A head-mounted device, comprising:
a first device portion that includes:
a primary housing,
a first optical module,
a second optical module,
a first coupler portion that is connected to the primary housing, and
a first adjuster portion that is operable to move the first optical module and the second optical module with respect to the primary housing, the first adjuster portion including a first contact surface; and
a second device portion that includes:
a secondary housing,
a face cushion that is connected to the secondary housing,
a second coupler portion that is connected to the secondary housing, and
a second adjuster portion that is operable to move the first optical module and the second optical module with respect to the primary housing, the second adjuster portion including a second contact surface,
wherein the first coupler portion of the first device portion is connectable to the second coupler portion of the second device portion to define a connected position in which the first device portion is connected to the second device portion and a disconnected position in which the first device portion is disconnected from the second device portion, and
wherein movement of the first device portion and the second device portion from the disconnected position to the connected position causes the second contact surface to engage the first contact surface to transfer a force from the second contact surface to the first contact surface to cause movement of the first adjuster portion and a corresponding movement of the first optical module and the second optical module.
