Was just coming to mention this - just pledged as I seem to have an allergic reaction to the standard face "foam" so use their VR Cover - but this would be even better

[FalcoNg]

$36 seems a bit much for a shaped piece of foam. You can probably have decent results making something similar on your own.

[Johnny Dioxin]

It isn't just a shaped piece of foam.

I figured it would not be long before someone came out with something with more standoff for glasses wearers.

I'd love to find a properly covered (stock vive cover would be fine) thin layer of memory foam or something for the vive. About 1/2 to 1/3 the thickness of the current foam. I can push the HMD towards my head/eyes and the "sweetspot" gets MUCH bigger.

Pledged as well. If it allows my glasses to be used (without hitting the lenses), it will be well worth it.

As I understand it, they are doing the pads for both.

My problem was that even if the lens didn't rub up against the lense, the glass frame made it uncomfortable. I just ordered some VR Lens adapters so I'll report back how that works out.

[NeilWillis]

Yes, I'd be very interested to know how you get along with the lenses. I'm using contact lenses right now, but I'm looking at all options.

I will be very interested in hearing about them. Were they sold by diopter number or ...?

[NeilWillis]

The info they ask for is Sph; Cyl; and Axis, so pretty thorough.

They use a standard prescription format for each eye, SPH, CYL, and AXS, they don't ask for prism correction or have an option for bifocal reading section (actually I wonder what would happen when you use vr if you were to need bifocals in day to day life)

 

While I can fit my normal glasses in the rift with only the outside of the lenses hitting the black spandex in the headset, I'm going to be ordering a set of VR lenses this week. My hope is to be able to use the thin adapter from the kickstarter with the vr lenses to move my eyes closer in and gain a little more FoV.

I see. So basically, they are prescription single vision lenses. Cool.

[hansangb]

Yup, you got it.
