Claim 6:
7. A face-shielding apparatus comprising:
a head-mounted device;
a visor that includes a reflective object that is substantially transparent in a visible light spectrum and having an opacity between 0% and 20%, the reflective object being embodied at a physical surface of the visor;
at least one visor attachment assembly that couples the visor to the head-mounted device, such that the visor is movable to one or more positions relative to the head-mounted device;
at least one optical sensor attached to the head-mounted device; and
at least one computing device communicatively coupled to the at least one optical sensor, the at least one computing device comprising a memory and one or more computer processors that:
generates, from the optical sensor, an indication of light outside of a visible light spectrum that is reflected from the reflective object; and
performs, based at least in part on the position of the visor that is determined based at least in part on the light outside of a visible light spectrum that is reflected from the reflective object, at least one operation.
