Query regarding focusing in VR

[markturner1960]

This is a little off the usual, but I just wondered if other VR users notice that for example, when refueling and focusing on things at approx tanker distance, that stuff like the HUD and canopy rail are out of focus? By this I mean not blurred, but seeing double......I get this, with the images overlaid approx a HUD width or so, it goes away when I change focus to look at the HUD....

 

Is this a function of how the images are projected and your distance away from the lenses? or do I have something not set correctly? 

 

Cheers

Hard to say but sounds like your IPD setting may be off a little.

Isn't this just an approximation of what happens IRL ?

 

Hold a pen up in front of your eyes at arms length and then focus on something past it in the distance. you'll see 2 pens.

Yes, it does sound like the OP is describing normal binocular vision, in particular stereopsis.

Maybe it’s just more noticeable due to the compressed depth compared to “real life”. I tried adjusting the IPD on my G2 and does not seem to make much difference to anything.....

If you see double with one eye closed then you need to see your doctor. For double vision with both eyes it’s typically due to misalignment of the eyes or things that you’re looking through. Try to tilt your headset a bit left or right and see if this helps.
