PL: "Finally! A virtual reality headset that won't take over your whole head nor kill your neck after five minutes of use."

Nice 3D renders! What I'm wondering tho, does this work with normal glasses underneath? Something tells me it won't...

Great Question... One of the great things about new VR & AR systems today, is that you can have Incorporated actual Perscription glass right into the lenses or that in many VR setups the glasses can still be worn under the AR/VR HMD.

Today what has been done is you in the case of a design like this is the lenses get adoptive lense work to mimic your Perscription needed for glass myopia.

A great Example is Sony's glasses.

http://developer.sonymobile...

SED-E1's

You can get this unit directly;

Now see this disclaimer, how did they fix this: problem?

Note:
- It’s not possible to wear SmartEyeglass if you are already wearing other glasses.
- You may not be able to use this device if your interpupillary distance (the distance between the center of your pupils) are outside the range 54.5 mm (2 1/4 in) to 72.5 mm (2 7/8 in).

Well, there is Optics Partners where their glasses can get your lenses to match your Perscription!

Like So..

Through Rochester Optical, prescription lenses for SmartEyeglass are available as easy-to-mount inserts. The prescription lenses allow anyone who usually wears prescription glasses to get the benefits of augmented reality using SmartEyeglass. Get more details about Rochester Optical lens inserts for SmartEyeglass.

And it will cost more though, but it will work. So having glasses instead of bulkier HMD headsets are just the more expensive method right now , but cheaper options right now are just more practical in mass market that's not to say these is no higher cost methods that fix those problems needed, they are just more expensive..in Sonys cases those are about $900.00 AR glasses for the developer edition , not bad in what your getting with the glasses. but we are moving toward these with a cheaper offering in the long term future..but even being long term, is really not that long with a little time to wait. A few years not decades.

Joe, I know you mean well, but your posts are always crazy long, why?

I get what you mean tho, I think, these types of VR sets can add prescription glasses in it which would be neat!

I , tend to try to be more informative in my posts to atleast explain , why my answer is the way it is.., I know it can be a number of long winded responses, but I just would like to put my point across and be informative also.

It's a problem I have been dealing with all of my life due to my dyslexia.

xtheblackparade3225d ago

Seems they are the first to get the design right! Looks pretty lightweightm, easy to wear. But I wonder what the glass is for, it's not like you're going to wear them when you're not in-game :P

PC VR On Steam Is Actually Growing, Not Shrinking

It's sometimes claimed that PC VR usage on Steam is shrinking, but here's why that isn't actually true.

Good, silence the naysayers who talk bollocks.

Tacoboto428d ago

The context in the article is kinda like the discussion of MAU metrics. Manipulation of figures to get it to say what you want it to.

I.e. "The proportion is shrinking, but there are more players so it's actually not shrinking!"

Crows90428d ago

That's not like mau metrics ....

If there's 20,000 players and only 10% use it and then there's a jump to 40,000 and 10% are using still using it then....there's been an increase because 10% of 40k is higher than 20k.

That's an actual number increase of people using it. That's growth.

Tacoboto428d ago

MAU is used to reference engagement or growth in a game. The conversation is muddied because people want to talk about sales instead of player count. How is this not like that?

Growth can mean and be two different things. Growth of quantity, or growth of proportion. People in finance and accounting will never look at 2% in one instant and look at 2% at a later instant and say "Hey look, growth!" That's a joke, to be frank. The 2% is more than the earlier 2% but that 98% remainder also grew.

Eonjay428d ago

Which is why Sony is putting PSVR 2 on it.

Abnor_Mal428d ago

I wish Sony would have given upgrades to many of their PSVR games for their VR2 system. Unfortunately for me their pcvr movement is not doing me any favors, hopefully there’s some kind of trickle down effect.

Eonjay428d ago

Sony would only be able to Patch its own games. Devs would have to go back and create their own patches. To be frank, whats gonna stop this from happening is money. Are they willing to pay to have a developer create the patch, QA to test...

Abnor_Mal428d ago

@Eonjay totally agree with what you said about third party devs and the cost, Q&A etc, but Sony could have updated Astrobot, The Persistance, Blood and Truth, and Farpoint. Have a few in-house devs work on DriveClub vr, and pay for an update for Rush of Blood and maybe a Shadow of the Colossus VR. I would love to play Borderlands VR on PSVR2.

shinoff2183428d ago

Sure Sony mightve been able to help but reality is most of those titles were from 3rd parties.

ApocalypseShadow428d ago (Edited 428d ago )

What he's saying is that Sony should have lead by example. Instead, they haven't done shit bringing them forward and expected 3rd parties to do it themselves in bringing their own games. If Sony's not going to do it, why should they?

It's like when they lead by example in the creation of their games. Or lead by example when they make their hardware.

Hate to say it, but for PS VR 2, they are lagging big time. GT is nice. But if you're tired of sims, then there's just Horizon. I'd rather have Blood and Truth remastered at that level or a sequel than what they currently released. No chance of that though as they killed London Studios. Another bullshit move they made. About as bad as killing Evolution Studios to keep GT as their only racing game. I like Sony's platform. But I'm not buying their headset if they're not going to put in the effort like they do with flat games.

shinoff2183428d ago

Exactly. I almost bought vr2 but it's the games missing. Sure that horizon might be dope but I'd prefer the full horizon, or last of us, Spiderman, something. Pay some 3rd party devs. I was hoping to get that fallout 4 but that's not happening now lol

shinoff2183428d ago

Vr is dope. Idk know why people wanna hate. It's definitely a dope next step. Even if it's a sidestep. I really wish more developers would throw down. Imagine a last of us with vr, or a final fantasy game, all kinds of stuff. It would be incredible.
