You and your IPD...

[Supmua]

According to Palmer Luckey's blog, the Rift S will work well with ~70% of the population. They picked the median IPD from the bell-shaped graph, so the two screens are fixed right at 64 mm apart and you can only do so much via software to accommodate all range of IPDs. So the true comfort range is as previous post stated, between low to mid 60s mm.

We lost a good man when PL was fired from Oculus.

I found my actual IPD to be very useful when setting the "Force IPD" number in DCS. I set it to 70mm, which is my actual IPD, and everything looks exactly like what I'm used to seeing in real cockpits.

 

Probably a coincidence. DCS IPD doesn’t relate to your physical IPD at all.

Never understood whyED call it IPD. Why don’t they use World Scaling like other software?

Yep, DCS IPD is a misnomer--mostly world scaling (or in-cockpit scaling if you will). Higher number = smaller cockpit size. The way I use it is by adjusting the number so that the joystick in-game stays roughly the same size as my real world joystick.

Exactly. While I have a very narrow IPD, something like 57.8 I think, it's not 55 which I use in the 18 or 63 in the A-10C. It's world scaling as stated above. Different planes need a different scale, especially the A-10C which was already out long before VR.

Don't mean to state the obvious, but a call to your eye doctor might yield the IPD on file. They also might simply invite you in for a quick (free) measurement once you explain what you need.

That's obviously the best answer. From what my glasses wearing friends told me that its not always that easy because they sometimes don't want to give out that info because you might use it to order glasses online instead of through them. Personally IDK I don't wear glasses.
