To be fair when at a convention their is also a so to speak high from the environment. Very similar to being a comedy Standup; at home you might not find it as humorous as being there.

I got a response from StarVR, they will study the matter

Everything you guys are sharing have some relevance. The reason I am good with the STVR is because I can still find use for developing some proof of concepts mock-ups. The wide FOV is the main requirement and on that regard the headset is good. But if you are just a consumer that wishes to use it as a gaming headset, then not the best option until the sharpness can be improved.

So, The more I use the headset the more my eyes get use to the visuals. Slowly my eyes adjust to the image convergence.

I notice God Rays on very dark scenarios.

It cant be as bad as my glare on my valve index(Even tho i love the index),is there no black smear on dark contrast scènes when moving your head?

I’ve moved the games list to a separate thread:

Update:

So I may have found a possible reason for the blurring. If I am correct, people with larger IPD’s should see improvement on image sharpness.

Upon more testings trying to figure the blurring issue i found another potential cause.The location of the lens sweet-spot

Let me elaborate, In VR, we always aim to find the sweetpot. By determining the areas that are sharpest to our eyes and when it start to blur out of focus.

At first I thought it may be some diffuse filter to smooth-out the pixels.The other was software alignment.

But now, and I think may be the likely reason is the lenses. I decided to close one eye and scan the lens of one eye. I noticed that there is a region on the lens where is most sharp. The problem is that it is further apart from where both my eyes are position wearing the headset. I am 59-60 IPD. My guess is that if you are within the wider face probably even larger than 64-66 range perhaps the image will be more in focus. The software IPD goes from 53-77 so, quite a wide range.

It is possible that Sebastian has a melon head and for him it works perfectly. I think Martin/Swiviver also have a large IPD. I can be wrong but he may be close to 70mm. I think those are IPD when the lens sweetspot be ideal.

Why not just ask them? :slight_smile:

@SweViver and @mixedrealityTV: What’s Your IPDs? :slight_smile:

Sweviver’s IPD is 69.x (I think he said 69.5).

EDIT Yeah: https://community.openmr.ai/t/hp-reverb-now-or-wait-for-pimax-8k-x/20354/217?u=djonko

And I guess Sebastian’s is around ~64mm… :slight_smile:

I think Sebs browses here. But is not really something I need to know. I know Martin is in the larger side because i think he mentioned it on some videos. They are both of similar high so, it is not unreasonable to subtract that they are closer to the larger IPD.

I will try make some markers where I find the image the sharpest and compare it to where my eyes are located. That should provide a better glance of the disparity of where the sweetspot is located.

Edit: good find. So he is 64. I think he should have some burring. Anyway I have to do more checking

Sounds like the StarVR is not even within your IPD range which means the headset was not designed for you. You can try moving to the lowest hardware ipd manually and then doing software ipd adjustment.

I have an IPD of 63.

145

Unlike the mechanical IPD of the Pimax, the IPD adjustment of the StarVR may be digital. Unless the display mechanism happens within the headset enclosure

146

You mean the lenses don’t move when you change IPD? Damn that would be pretty bad for such highend system.

Well their built in eye tracking I assume does automatic mechanical ipd adjustment.

148

On the other hand, it actually makes sense (that there is no mechanical IPD adjustment). Imagine that you would have to move the complete optics for one eye, including the peripheral lens (and the display).

149

Correct, what ever is happening, I can’t see it because everything in enclosed.

Yes! It’s 64! :slight_smile: I admire your detective work!
