![]() I bought enough viewers to simply combine existing lenses, but this isn't really an option for others. Potential sources are Surplus Shed with a large selection of lenses for USD 5 each or Aliexpress with a somewhat random collection of cheap acrylic lenses. The primary problem is usually where to get the lenses, as getting a pair with a specific focal length is important, and the magnification declaration for most lenses is pretty much pure fantasy. If the lenses get too close, moisture from the eyes will start to fog the lenses and long lashes will smudge them.Ĭhanging the lenses is the most effective way, but there are some road blocks. Moving the eyes closer requires flexible lens mounts, making it a big problem in Cardboard, pretty easy to do with the screw-in lens mounts in the ColorCross. ![]() Obviously getting a larger screen means buying another phone. Use lenses with higher magnification/lower focal length.Īll three come with their own problems.But unless you pay a lot for high quality optics, larger magnification will always lead to more image distortion, picking the right FoV is a question of balance.Ī higher effective FoV can be achieved in three ways: Increasing the FoV comes with a number of problems, some now reduced with the option to define the FoV in the viewer profile generator and fast phones capable to do lens barrel distortion correction, but keep in mind that higher isn't always better. You'll get a FoV better than with Cardboard, but the image quality will suffer. TL DR: Buy these very cheap Fresnel lenses, fasten them in front of your existing ColorCross lenses, shorten the lens-phone distance. There's hardly any space inside for bigger phones too.įinally I'll have to make a small hole in the side so I can charge my phone while it's in the headset. If that's the case how exactly would I fix this? I mean if I cut into the plastic piece in the middle, and the sides I doubt it would be able to hold my phone properly. Secondly, I'll need some way to increase the FOV, which from reading around I believe the problem is that the phone is too far from the lenses. Some modifications are in order.įirst of all I'll need to get some foam or a slightly bigger strap to make this thing more comfy. Add to that the fact that it sticks to my face like a ******. I haven't really tested any other headsets, but the field of vies on this one is so narrow, it looks like I just have a huge square in front of me. I kept reading how even the cheapest cardboard has a better FOV, and I agree. ![]() I somewhat recently got a cheap plastic cardboard hedseat, it's called SunnyPeak, but from the picks it seems it's just an exact replica of the ColorCross.
