Eye strain / possible projection issue?

Mine is larger than 64 & no problems on Normal & large with default face foam.

The difficulty comes in one size fits all. So as with most things rely on middle of the road to be a one size fits all.

Interesting enough it was a cold case caught a person due to a photo using glasses ipd.

Now set your IPD to MAX or 70, this is how I see the image in the HMD, but for you you can go lower to get the image in focus, I unfortunately can not go lower to get the image in focus.
Sorry not having a go at you @Heliosurge just trying to let you see what I see in the HMD.

Memory foam with a synthetic leather would be nice.

I will keep it for the sake of science, and continue using my old proven Rift and PSVR.

However might even sell it at a huge profit on ebay.

Probably will just wait a while to see how Pimax will address this huge eyestrain problem.

Well truth made by another user & received good feedback. For a static image I would guess something like an Eyechart might work well.

Or @neelrocker’s simulated Oculus method.

What I think would work best is like the old rear projection TVs. Blue cross left eye, yellow cross for right eye. When the 2 crosses are properly overlapped you should have a green cross with no halos of either color.

Not to worry. I don’t take it that way. Tbh I would have to checky eyes after long use as my eyes seem to correct it unless it’s extremely off. The pimax 4k i gave up on chamging ipd as didn’t notice much in changing values.

Tomorrow I will measure and take photos from between the lowest center of my VR hmds’ lenses (GO, Rift, PSVR, and Pimax 5k+) and report back.

Oo btw my initial findings are not promising as most of those hmd at least have 64 fixed, or goes way down to 59, but Pimax is around 66 even above.

I need to take photos, present it as scitifically as possible, so that people who things of preordering should not make a big mistake as this is the most expensive hmd on earth considering lack of warranty and support so far…

Have you tried play at low fov?

I tried this bitmap too, doesn’t work for me.
Well actually it does work but it does with several different IPD values…

Someone made a post about the fact that the lens are at an angle, I think this is the reason a simple bitmap isn’t going to work.

We need Pimax to do some serious work and find out a way to accurately calibrate our headset in real time with some tool integrated to PiTool.

We do have a warrenty or how else do you think folks are getting exchanges & cable replacements.

maybe with eyetracking they will figure something out for ipd and hopefully later with distortion profiles

By paying enormous shipping and custom taxes? What kind of legal guarantee are you talking about? Chinese?

I just hope before 2021!

You hardly paid anyrhing unless your a pre order whom has paid retail price.

Guess no one is getting rma & replacement cables.

Yea I paid only tiny usd 1000 as a kickstarter 23xx in 2017

Mine is 59.5, no time oriented strain issues for me either. The only trouble I had was back on the first day when I received my initial device last year. I also regularly calibrate these devices for visiting customers and many have a low IPD also with no issues. Out of perhaps 150 people or so shown at length maybe 5 or 6 mentioned eye strain.

Hmmmmm… Yea it is obvious that only a very few minority suffer from this problem like in this video: PIMAX 5K Plus - The Final Honest Review - The Future of VR is WIDE, but is this the Future? - YouTube
You guys are really funny!

Will need to test Kopa’s script. Beem awhile since I used it.

@anon74848233 @PimaxUSA Summary of some Pitool feature requests in case they are lost in the topic:

  1. A tool for helping users to adjust IPD with an image similar to the line that was linked above:
  1. A slider to adjust IPD correction in software independent of lens position:

Can you make your engineering team aware of these requests if they are not already? Thanks.
