[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A device for determining head position of a vehicle occupant by reference to proximity values obtained from an array of three or more proximity sensors, said device employing a geometric relationship of the sensors and the occupant's head, wherein said device employs an adjustment of the proximity values to adjust for a difference between a head surface proximity and a head interior point.
