Post by: Eagler on January 04, 2019, 10:22:07 AM

Has anyone swapped out the original Vive Fresnel lenses for the Samsung gear VR lenses?

Thanks

Update

I swapped the lenses out in my vive pro.

It increased clarity and enlarged the sweet spot

I would recommend it to anyone not happy with the original lens experience

I would be interested to know how to acquire these lenses and fit them.

I am loving the VR experience, especially in a dog fight.

I have a 1080ti gpu. Frustratingly I get a Vive black out when it has to do the most work. When I am right on the enemy's tail and going for the kill...blank screen,crash,die.

I have a big, curve screen monitor which is the main reason I upgraded the graphics card. Now the card has to work to display on the monitor and the Vive Pro at the same time. That is a lot of computing. Surely it would make sense not to display on the monitor while the head set is in use, or at least have that option.

There is a disable mirroring option somewhere

once you swap the lenses - watch out for dust - you will need to modify a vive config file

much clearer for me with gearVR lenses
