Pimax Crystal Light - Help needed with setting IPD offset

[NightstalkerNOR]

Hello. I have had major issues with adapting to the Pimax Crystal Light. I experience significant nausea and eye-strain within seconds. I have set my IPD distance according to the instructions from Pimax, and I have spent many hours adjusting offset lens viewpoints, but with no success.

I received a new pair of lenses to no effect at all.

I had the HP Reverb G2 before this one which felt much more comfortable and user-friendly.

I am now troubleshooting to figure out any fixes I can do before I have to return them. Therefore I request some input on how to be certain I am doing the IPD adjustsments correctly. How do you set your offsets?

There is an app called "Pupil distance" and you can use it at least once for free.
I measured the distance with my iPhone, and adjusted the Pimax accordingly.
There should be a popup telling you the distance in the Pimax as you adjust.

 

Try wearing them higher on the nose.
-Or lower, but I have to keep them fairly high. So high it actually feels a bit wrong, but gives the best image.

Also: If you wear reading glasses, you can try to wear them under the Pimax as a test to see if it feel better. If so, you can buy some prescription lenses:

Thank you for your reply. I am not having significant issues with the IPD distance itself, but rather the offset values - horizontal/vertical. The right and left eye are unaligned, and I am struggling with aligning them.

I've tried entering the sim and focus on stars, lights, buildings and so on in the distance (which Pimax suggests) but I am unable to align them so that it is comfortable to wear the headsets longer than 30 seconds. I am also having issues with "bulging" in the center, i.e. the middle focus point is very small and the slightest head movement reveals these points clearly as bulging lines.

I am not wearing glasses.

I had the same issues with eye strain. This helped a lot:

hmm only works if you have a controller.

Thank you so much for your input, but as Blackhawk mentions above, this is probably only possible with the controllers, which I do not have unfortunately...
