Still Ugly. But much much lighter.
Using 4X lenses, http://www.theloupestore.co.uk/Classic-Magnifying-Glasses/Round/Robust-Magnifier.html as my ‘Palmer Loupes’ hadn’t yet arrived. They have now though, so I will start a design from scratch; in carbon fibre.
So, the ingredients are; set of lenses as above, a Maplins project box, an old set of ski goggles, some foam sheeting, hot glue and some gaffer tape.
On top is the guts of an old Gyration Ultra mouse; works well.
- Lenses are held in place by hot glue
- Goggles are bolted in place at top and hot glued on bottom
- Unlike most others, I have left gaffer tape off the sides of this and instead fitted blinkers; this means that people with small faces (women) can still get a nice comfy fit from the goggles. I can’t fix their IPD though.
Anyway; here we are:
Cool. Any better performance than the Rift DK?
This was before the DK.
The DK is far far superior manufacturing precision.
The precision of the tracking in the Rift was / is, frankly staggering – coupled with the community most other things have been left in the dust. Compatibility and software is (almost) everything.
