Varjo Aero VR headset

Also, I still don’t have hand controllers… Turns out Valve aren’t doing business in Norway. I guess I could order them through Sweden…?

Hmm, no hand controllers probably means no SteamVR environments, so so much for my ROV test idea. You’ll just have to fly a lot of sims instead!

Thanks.

Ugh. I tried that FOV thing - had to find my hand controllers for it. This was months ago but, ick. That software, at the time, wasn’t ready for primetime.

We want feelings. :wink:

If we must have science stuff however I suggest:

The environment one is pretty much ‘you’re on your own to figure it out’ as the author went on to do a paid version at http://testhmd.com. They are essentially the same, just the latter has instructions and is stand-alone, plus is maintained.

I can feel it :slight_smile: ( because we already know its the best consumer helmet out there money can buy and you will have to lie to us if you are not satisfied with it :grin: )

Can’t wear glasses with that rig I believe. Pity.

I read from their fitting instructions that you might be ok with eye-glasses, but things like prescription inserts (that fit over the lenses like WIDMO VR etc) are a no go due to the eye tracking.

LASIK surgeons are going to be inundated this year.

Ever since I’ve had VR goggles I’ve considered my contact lenses as a great piece of gaming kit LOL! I start heading down to my computer with my glasses on and think, “Dang, better put on my contacts!”. :slight_smile: LASIK still isn’t very attractive to me, especially when I still like to wear my glasses sometimes and I don’t want to get my eyes sliced open. I’ve been wearing contacts for about 40 years for really bad nearsightedness and I’m still enjoying my 20/15 vision! I even have bifocal contacts now.

I think that depends on the size of the glasses. I’ll try with mine.

I have astigmatism and until recently there weren’t any contacts available that corrected that and were bifocal. I know there is now though… Maybe I should schedule an appointment with the optician?

@fearlessfrog, any thoughts on using the FSR mod with the Aero? Should work just as for the G2, right?

It should do, yes. I’d try it off first though.
