1. A method for configuring a system having a wearable optical unit, comprising:
powering on the system; and
in response to the system being powered on, using one or more processors to control the system to:
determine whether to cause the system to run a configuration workflow; and
in response to determining to cause the system to run the configuration workflow,
control the system in connection with configuring an interpupillary distance (IPD) for a user of the system;
determine whether the IPD is configured for the user; and
in response to determining that the IPD is not configured for the user, implement an IPD configuration method based at least in part on an indication that a content displayed on a display of the optical unit is viewable through an opening at a center of a lens cap positioned over a lens of the optical unit.
