The articulated nose bridge including a nose piece configured to rest on a wearer's nose, a bridge piece located between a left eye display and a right eye display of the head mounted display, and an articulator. The articulator includes a nose end coupled to the nose piece, and a bridge end pivotally coupled to the bridge piece and allowing a viewing angle of the left eye display and the right eye display to be adjusted by the wearer. The articulated nose bridge may additionally include a locking mechanism having a locked position that prevents the bridge end of the articulator from pivoting and a free position that allows the bridge end of the articulator to pivot. The locking mechanism may include a spring or tensioner that automatically returns the locking mechanism to the locked position after the wearer has moved the locking mechanism into the free position. In addition, the nose end of the articulator is pivotally coupled to the nose piece. Further, the locking mechanism may include a gear segment and a pawl configured to engage the gear segment in the locked position.
