Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world’s population will have myopia.
Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus?
Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason.
Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?
Does this help focus? For the headsets that have this, I thought it was so you could fit your glasses.
I used to have an Index, and moving the lenses didn’t seem to change the focus in the way that glasses do.
Edit: Oh, in your picture, it’s specifically a focus wheel, so must be something different about it.
