Meta | Quantified Wearability
Human factors research: hardware and wearables
Project Overview
I supported a long‑term Human Factors study focused on understanding AR/VR wearable fit across a diverse range of physiologies. The goal was to build a comprehensive dataset that would inform future headset sizing, comfort, and SKU strategy.
My Role
Ran structured in‑lab sessions with participants across varied head shapes and facial geometries
Collected biometric and anthropometric measurements following Human Factors protocols
Conducted short comfort and fitment interviews focused on pressure points, slippage, and long‑term wearability
Collaborated with HF researchers to ensure consistency in data capture and participant handling
Methodology
Biometric and anthropometric measurement collection
Guided comfort and fitment interviews
Longitudinal data capture across multiple sessions
Collaboration with Human Factors and hardware engineering teams
Impact
The dataset helped the team determine SKU configurations that maximized fit across a broad population while reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. The findings also informed early comfort guidelines and contributed to future hardware sizing decisions.
