Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to fitting a virtual mask to a virtual face by first fitting a chin region of the virtual mask to the virtual face, then determining an virtual mask angle that maintains the fitted chin region while simultaneously fitting a nose-bridge region of the virtual mask to the virtual face, and then calculating a fit-quality metric corresponding to the fitted position. In an illustrative embodiment, the fitted chin region may include the high curvature menton region of the chin. In some examples, a virtual mask may be virtually pressed toward the virtual face using a predetermined force corresponding to a force of a mask securing device of a real mask corresponding to the virtual mask In an exemplary embodiment, the fitting of a virtual mask to a virtual face may advantageously yield a mask's fit quality in a brief amount of time.
