Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world’s population will have myopia.
Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus?
Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason.
Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?
Does that even help nearsighted people? The screen is literally an inch or two away from your eyes. There’s nothing to focus on.
I’ve never noticed much of an issue seeing in VR games, though I’m not uberblind either.
Yeah. I’m nearsighted and had to get aftermarket prescription lenses for the index in order to use it comfortably. My nearsightedness isn’t even that strong, but I can’t use it without them.
That’s weird. I haven’t had much of an issue. Though my experience is with the OG Vive so that display is kind of rough to begin with.
The lenses in a VR headset make it seem like the screen is infinitely far away. If you need glasses normally, then you will need to wear them or something equivalent to see clearly in VR.
