what's the silver/metal thing on peoples' heads in the left side photo?

According to one of the posts[0] on the photographer's website:

The metal device visible in the left picture was part of a spinning chair. It held the head in the correct position during the photographing.

It looks like just a peg in the wall where people were told to stand to center their head in front of the camera.

I suspect it was used as a mark to help take measurements from the images.
