The Effect of Facial size on Perceived Wearing Comfort of Vision Pro

Abstract: With the rapid development of virtual reality (VR) technology, VR headsets have gained widespread applications across various fields. However, wearing comfort remains one of the key issues affecting their long-term use and widespread adoption. Specifically, how individual facial characteristics, such as face width and face height, influence wearing comfort has not been sufficiently explored. This study aims to investigate the specific effects of face width and face height on the wearing comfort of VR headsets and assess the role of gender differences in comfort evaluation. Through wearing experiments with 20 participants (including 10 males and 10 females), this study systematically analyzes the effects of face width and face height on the VR headset wearing experience. The results show that face width and face height have significant effects on different dimensions, such as comfort, pressure, and sense of downward pull, and gender differences play an important role in certain comfort dimensions. In particular, the interaction between face width and face height significantly affects comfort scores, suggesting that the diversity of facial features should be considered in the design of VR headsets. This study provides theoretical support for the personalized optimization of VR hardware design and offers data support for the future widespread application and customization of VR devices.
