I don’t have a left eye (sucks, but whatever). How hard would it be to configure Brainwarp to just disable the left screen? I’d rather not waste the electricity on visuals I can’t see. And as a bonus, my friends to see what the world looks like an eye missing.
Thanks!
Mike
I can just close one eye but sure. Interesting question.
That sucks. If you could disable 1 screen, you should be able to double the framerate.
This condition is more common than most people realize. I have a friend, who lost an eye as a child, literally due to running with scissors. (Your mom was right, it’s dangerous.) Anyway, she refuses to pay extra to see a movie in 3D.
Maybe you can run native resolution if you only have to render one screen 
its unfortunate that that happened. in your situation brainwarp would actually not work well at all, so i will tell you in advance not to turn it on. I don’t think manufacturers have catered to someone with your physiology. But i do think its worth making it well known that use cases like yours exist. Its something of a fight club analysis of capitalism thing though in that the cost of implementing it probably outweighs the cost of addressing it for any company given that the changes will make the device no more functional for you, merely lower the gpu requirement a little.
Interesting. i wonder if brainwarp gave one eye an alternating image very fast it could simulate stereo ? The brain is pretty amazing at putting images together after all.
Looks like ill be googling this for a bit
Well. 7Invensun has adapted eyetracking glass on 1 eye only.
Not what you wish for, but it might give an opportunity. It might be a start to something new.
It looks like 2 but it actually just 1 eye tracking.

Close one eye at a 3D movie without glasses on and you’ll “see” ;-). Spoiler alert: it’s weird and blurry for everything but the background.
Not the same thing, when you close one eye at a movie, that eye is still only seeing the left or right designation frame. not both in sequence. You would have to have the ability to move the glasses lens from left lens to right lens at 30hz (i think movies are 30hz per eye… not sure really) The lenses have different polarity that block the unneeded frame from the proper side
I dont know so much about fisionomy, but if you dont have one eye, you cant view objects on 3D, maybe you dont need a RV headset, if you cant see 3d is better use a full 4k tv with HDR and ULTRA settings?
I think that , the brain, get 3d images due to disference point of view of each eye.
sorry for my english. Maybe i missunderstanding something.
even if you can only see in one eye, it does not change the immersion of vr. when you look around you are in another place. that is not the same as a monitor. im sure vr will be awesome for them, especially with proper controllers in room scale.
People with one eye can still walk around without walking into things. They can drive cars and stop on the line at the stop sign. They can get by in our 3 dimensional space as well as anyone.
Why? Because saying you cannot see 3D with one eye is over simplified to the point of being wrong.
I also think they can experience an immersion in vr that cannot be achieved on a monitor.
Close an eye while you’re in VR does that suddenly stop you from being in VR? No? I don’t why anyone would think it did.
That was never the suggestion. The OP wants to know if you can disable one display since he doesnt use one side. I had posted the question if you can trick the brain into seeing stereo 3D with one eye if you rapidly swapped the left/right images on one side of the display.
So back to topic , the OP question was.
I was responding to the notion that op should just use a tv instead because he couldn’t see 3d with one eye.
You do have a sense of depth with one eye, focus through deformation of the pupil/lens.
The thing is with one eye you can’t see stereoscopic contents to have the sense of depth people with 2 eyes get.
So eye tracking is especially important in VR for people with one eye, since this is the only way for them to get a sense of depth through focus, using blur effect on the things you are not focusing on.
That’s not quite true, they can also judge distance by parallax*. I have a one-eyed cat. She bobs her head, to determine the distance, before making a jump. That means that head-tracking is also of great importance to someone with only one good eye.
.* “Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.”
Sure and if you move your head left and right fast enough you could get stereoscopic vision with one eye!
Hi,
just found this old thread because im searching for the same option 
I have also only one 100% working eye, with the other eye i can just see round about 10%. So not so much 
I just thinking about to have an option to reduce the rendering quality on the bad eye and increase it on the good eye to have an performance improvement.
Is somebody working on something like this? Would be nice to know 
I wouldn’t hold out much hope for having higher render quality for one eye because it would need a lot of work done on the engine for a very small percentage of users. However, another user (can’t remember the name) recommended enabling monoscopic rendering (both panels display the same image). Apparently that’s being done on PSVR to decent effect and greatly improves framerate.
