A few years back I got my brother’s old htc vive VR headset. While I did greatly enjoy playing beat saber on it, I eventually stopped using it as it required me to take off my glasses. I can see semi-okay without glasses but it really tires me quickly and at the end of the day it was a no-go. My glasses don’t fit inside the headset and I’m not going to wear lenses (mild phobia about having anything near my eyes).
Which VR headset out there allows for enough room to wear glasses? If it’s the playstation one i wouldn’t mind getting a ps5, I’m really open to suggestions.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
I had the same problem. If you know your prescription, there are a few companies that will make custom lens inserts for most headsets out there. I bought some lenses from VR Optician for my HTC Cosmos and they are awesome. Totally changes the experience and makes it so much comfortable than squeezing your glasses inside the headset. Plus you avoid the issue of lenses fogging up. Definitely worth the money.
People already pointed out the lens insets which are probably the best solution.
There’s also the option of just wearing your glasses inside the headset if you prefer that. The Quest 2 has a glasses spacer that you can put between the facial interface and the headset, which should give enough space to wear your glasses inside the headset. The Quest 3‘s facial interface can be adjusted directly (there’s 4 steps).
Thank you for the tip, the lens insets do seem like the ideal solution, but having the space for glasses might be handy for friends or family as well. It’ll be something for me to keep in mind.
Just a quick note: The insets decrease the field of view as you cannot get your face close to the screen.
The Quest 3 has prescription lenses you can buy and theyre 100% worth it. The difference with glasses and the lenses is insane quality bump.
The quest 3 also has a setting that allows you to compensate for glasses, I wore my inside the headset for a while before my lenses came in
I took some of these from VR Optician as a workaround.
Perfect for me and a lot better comfort then cramping the glasses into the headgear.
At least on my Rift they are. I just remove the cover lens and stick the others on.
To protect the main lense they added cover lenses on the Rift.
Sweet! Sounds easy enough if I want to share with someone. Looks like they have options for a ton of different headsets, now I’ll just have to figure out whether I want to upgrade first. Thank you 😊
Dunno about other headsets, but the quest 2 has a spacer you can buy so you can wear glasses. That being said, better to get a lens insert or wear contacts because of fog.
