Reddit reviews Healingshield Watch Face Protector Guard [Front 3pcs] (42mm(1.65in))

I believe some of these sellers will ship out to Europe, though it make take some time. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00SJ22D5Q/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

I've also heard of Vive users putting KlearKare protectors on, but I'm wary as these need water to apply - and you don't want to wreck your Rift while trying to protect it.

Alternatively, you can buy lens inserts so you don't have to use glasses:

This is clever, but do yourself a favour and get some healing shield watch screen protectors.

I've used these for years on my DK2, CV1 and Quest. I can not recommend them enough.

They're made for curved watch faces, so they mold to fit the Quest lenses nicely. You can remove the lens bezel while filling them (they pop right out). The 42mm worked perfectly for me.

I applied these.

It comes with 3 in case you mess 1 up. You can't see them once they are in. The 42 mm doesn't cover the entire the lens (the Rift lenses aren't circles) but it covers any area you're likely to be touching.

I have these on my rift and they're crystal clear!

I'm running under spec with a GTX-670 and it works using SteamVR's resolution scaling but barely. Looking at the GPU hierarchy that GPU is well below mine so I'd say wait until you can get a new GPU. Honestly I'd say the same thing about my own setup because while I can tolerate it, it's very limited and I know it causes nausea for other people I've shown it to. With that GPU I'm not sure you'll be able to get anything to work at an acceptable level. I'm not sure what you can get away with as far as the CPU goes, I'm using a i5 3570.

If you decide to upgrade I'd say check your pupillary distance (the headset only supports between 59mm and 67mm), get rechargeable batteries as the controllers will go through them fast, and if you have glasses get lens protectors. You'll want 42mm round ones, I used these.

EDIT: double checked pupillary distance setting

You should get some sort of cover to protect the lenses. I've heard watch face protectors work pretty well (though I haven't yet tried them myself): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJ22D5Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2

Get lens protectors. I wear glasses and had the same fear, got the 42mm Healingshield protectors that have been recommended elsewhere on this subreddit and they fit perfectly. Quick to install and if they get damaged/dirty over time, they're easy to replace. You really can't see them when you're wearing the Rift, I tried looking to the sides with it on my face and you can't find the transition between the protector and where it ends at all. I would say these are a must have for those with glasses and just a good general safety precaution for anyone else.

If you're going to share the rift with glasses owners, I recommend screen protectors. Once scratched it can never be replaced/fixed.

These fit really well:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00SJ22D5Q

You could probably fit the 43mm versions too, but this provides enough coverage and I cannot see the edge of the protector when playing.

Also, I generally wear contacts but find my eyes dry out and get itchy in the rift. I actually prefer playing with glasses. Buy these:

https://www.zennioptical.com/p/metal-alloy-full-rim-frame-with-spring-hinges/5500?skuId=550021

They look retarded but they're basically free and it's like they're hand-crafted for the rift. Absolutely perfect fit. "Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all..."

I got the 42mm version of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJ22D5Q based on someones recommendation from here awhile ago. They don't fit completely, they are a tad smaller than the lenses, but they haven't affected the visual quality that I've noticed, and they are easy to put on.

This is what you want. I wear glasses and these are both clear and protected me from a good scratch.

These worked well on the Rift CV1.

I just measured the Quest and the lens diameter is 45mm at the widest point and 42mm at it's shortest point. The lenses are also curved so you are going to want to get curved protectors not flat ones.

I'm going to pick up the 42 mm ones and see how they go. From my experience with these on the Rift CV1 they would be very hard to cut to size. Plus also you wont see the edges that are not covered while in VR I suspect.

My friend has the widmovr lenses, and they work great and pop out really easily

I use Healingshield Watch Face Protector Guard [Front 3pcs] (42mm(1.65in)) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SJ22D5Q?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf and don't notice any distortion but I might just be used to it.

Most importantly: Keep your lenses away from sunlight, exposure to bright lights will burn the screen, this is not covered by the warranty.
I got some watch "screen" protectors for the lenses and I have not noticed any blurring.
If you want to get some, make sure you get ones made for curved surfaces, as the rift lenses are not flat.
If the protector is not on there properly, either because it is made for flat surfaces or because it was applied wrong, it will start peeling off at the edge and that can introduce some weird distortion.
As long as it's on there properly though it's great, I even have an air bubble right in the center of one of the lenses and it is completely invisible while wearing the headset.
You should still clean the lenses before applying the protectors though, dust particles can scratch the lenses.

Like this one?

I use these - 42mm Healing Shield CurvedFit.

I'm really happy with them, there's no visible change at all when using the Rift with or without glasses (I sometimes wear contacts).

I ended up putting some protectors on the lenses, I used the ones that protect watch faces from amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJ22D5Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used the 42mm ones that fit the Lenevo perfectly.

I have glasses and found that they indeed fit nicely in the Odyssey+. They didn't fit in an Oculus CV1; so the Odyssey+ definitely has more room that some headsets.

I too was worried about the lenses contacting each other. I wound up using watch face protectors. They have no discernible impact on the visuals; I even tried looking for a difference with just one installed and couldn't see a difference.

I also agree on comfort. Wearing the Odyssey+ used to cause a bit of pain if I used it for a while. Oddly enough, it doesn't anymore. I suspect the foam softened after being used for a while.

I own a Rift and not the PSVR so you'll need to figure out the correct size for the PSVR lenses. That said, these watch protectors work great, they stick to the curved lens surface without bubbles and there isn't any significant change to clarity.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJ22D5Q/

For reference, 42mm is best for the Rift, 50mm for the Vive. They're perfect circles so if you get a small length of string or measuring tape and get the diameter of the PSVR you should be set.

Alternatively, I'm sure there are actual "designed for PSVR" lens protectors somewhere.

These Healingshields fit the VR lenses really well.

I used these on my rift and plan to use them on the index as well:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SJ22D5Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What is the exact diameter of the lenses? CAD files soon?

Need to know so I can get right size lens shields.

I guess it depends on the size of your glasses. Medium or small frames are fine, I'd be worried about large ones.

I'd definitely recommend thse 42mm lens protectors. They fit perfectly and they're relatively easy to apply - although the manual is filled with broken English.

Yes, put watch-glass protectors on your lenses that you can replace as-needed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SJ22D5Q/?coliid=IT6MR7MVVWGJL&colid=CT53H3IA37F7&psc=1

>Lenses:
>
>1. Do NOT let direct SUNLIGHT touch the lenses EVEN FOR A FEW SECONDS. If you've ever gone outside with a magnifying glass, you'll know that it takes seconds to start a fire by focusing light on dry leaves. The same concept applies here, except you're cooking OLED. Get a storage box, and don't ever leave the thing facing a window (remember, the sun moves throughout the day!)
>
>2. Get some lens protection. The lenses are made of polycarbonate (not glass) and scratch relatively easily, especially if you will demo to someone who uses glasses. 42mm watch protectors from Healingshield work very well (although, they leave about 10% of the outer edges of the lens uncovered) - They don't significantly alter image quality and curve to fit the convex shape of the lens.
>https://www.amazon.com/Healingshield-Watch-Protector-Guard-1-97in/dp/B00SJ22D5Q?th=1
>
>3. Do NOT use alcohol to clean your lenses, or this can happen - https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/58s5i8/psa_do_not_use_alcohol_tissues_to_clean_the_psvr
>
>4. Put the Rift on and off like a gas mask rather than a hat - this prevents the lenses from brushing against your hair and taking all the oils from it, forcing you to clean them.
>
>5. Yes, all Rifts have god rays. It's normal. The Rift uses a freshnel lens (basically a lens with very fine ridges) and light gets scattered as it hits the edges of these ridges. Adjusting the headset fit can reduce the intensity, but they'll still be there. Let your mind filter them out.
>
>Headset Adjustment:
>
>1. A properly adjusted headset should be fairly comfortable and not cause any marks on your face.
>The rear triangle should be VERY LOW, positioned just above your neck (the occipital region). The side straps should provide just enough pressure such that the rear triangle doesn't slide upwards.
>
>2. The display portion can be tilted up and down. A poorly adjusted headset leads to pupil swim (the image appears to distort and change shape as you look around with your eyes).
>
>
>Cable Management:
>
>1. Use a rubber band to attach the cable to a bulldog clip and then attach the bulldog clip to your clothing, ensuring there is lots of slack between the headset and the clip. This stops the cable from tugging on your neck (it feels almost wireless), and also prevents you from damaging the cable if you trip and tug on it.
>
>2. On the PC side, anchor the cable to a table leg with some rubber bands, making sure to leave lots of slack cable between the anchor point and the computer. This prevents you from breaking your USB or HDMI plugs or ports if you happen to trip and tug on the cable. Alternatively, get USB/HDMI extensions, or use a Vive breakout box.
>
>Sensor Placement:
>
>1. Each sensor has a 120 degree horizontal and 70 degree vertical FOV. You can use Deskscene to visualise the cameras view and adjust accordingly - https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/5gy2my/desk_scene_multisensor_update_check_your_cameras/
>
>Software:
>
>1. The free software that comes with Touch will register itself on the FIRST ACCOUNT you use with the hardware - if you have multiple accounts, make sure to log into the correct account before using your new controllers.
>
>2. Don't forget to check out SteamVR and the games on steam as well - You'll have to enable "unknown sources" to do so. In the Oculus application, go to settings and there's a switch for it under the General section.
>
>Finally, don't forget to have fun!
