1. An interactive headgear operation system comprising:
an accelerometer coupled to headgear and configured to detect a yaw, pitch, roll, or any combination thereof of the headgear;
a first actuator coupling a first feature of the headgear to a main body of the headgear, wherein the first actuator is configured to extend the first feature away from the main body of the headgear and retract the first feature toward the main body;
a second actuator coupling a second feature of the headgear to the main body of the headgear, wherein the second actuator s configured to extend the second feature away from the main body of the headgear and retract the second feature toward the main body; and
a controller communicatively coupled to the accelerometer, the first actuator, and the second actuator, wherein the controller comprises a processor and a memory, wherein the memory is configured to store machine-readable instructions, wherein the machine-readable instructions are configured to cause the processor to:
receive an indication of the yaw, pitch, roll, or any combination thereof of the headgear from the accelerometer;
determine an instruction to send to the first actuator and the second actuator based on the indication of the yaw, pitch, roll, or any combination thereof of the headgear, wherein the instruction is configured to cause the first actuator to extend the first feature away from the main body of the headgear or retract the first feature toward the main body of the headgear, and cause the second actuator to extend the second feature away from the main body of the headgear or retract the second feature toward the main body of the headgear; and
send the instruction to the first actuator and the second actuator.
