VR tunning tips

This video is from pimax but all but the last one is useful to all VR brands.  Especially helpful if you have an AMD CPU.

Glad it helped Puma.

Another interesting point specifically for the Crystal Light.   Having had cataract surgery on both eyes using fixed distance lenses, I need to find a compromise set of glasses that met the one meter focal length.   I found an old set of reading glasses that may work.

From Pimax

Most VR headsets are designed with a focal distance of 1.5 to 2 meters, which aligns well with a standard distance prescription. The Pimax Crystal series, however, is calibrated to roughly one meter.

Why one meter? This choice makes the headset more forgiving for users with mild myopia, while still accommodating those with normal vision. The result is a design that works for a wider range of eyesight conditions, but also means that not every standard prescription will translate perfectly inside the headset.

Solved my fixed lens cataract while using the crystal Light.  I went to walmart, and tried a few different strengths of cheap reading glasses.  I stood about a meter away from the eye chart on the reading glass display stand.  That worked pretty well.

Most other VRs are 2 meter so they may not require correction if you have fixed lenses cataract replacement lenses.

I use my computer distance mr.magoo glasses under my vr headset as it focuses better than my reading and distance ones..
