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.
