Claim 17:
18. A method for providing a modular wearable optics device to meet a required optical arrangement for a user, the method comprising:
selecting a wearable support element, one or more eyepieces, and one bridging element from a plurality of bridging elements, wherein the plurality of bridging elements have different shapes and sizes each adapted to locate the one or more eyepieces in a different position or orientation, and wherein each bridging element includes an identifier which enables identification of the shape and size of the bridging element by a control system of the one or more active optical elements;
determining if the configuration of selected parts has the required optical arrangement for the user;
in response to the configuration of selected parts not meeting the required optical arrangement for the user, changing the one bridging element for another bridging element included in the plurality and that is a different shape and/or size so as to be compatible with an anthropometric characteristic of the user; and
adjusting, with the control system, one or more convergence parameters of the one or more eyepieces based on the identified shape and size of the other bridging element.
