Anyone who requires prescription glasses and wants to use a virtual reality headset is in for an awkward experience, so this VR lenses adapter was created to help one user become more fully immersed.
Created by Thingverse user Jegstad, the Oculus Rift CV1 prescription lens adapter works by enabling users to input their prescription lenses into the headset.
This functionality enables users to not have to worry about wearing their glasses during use and connect more organically with the content being enjoyed. The VR lenses adapter was created using a 3D printer and has been incorporated directly into the design of the headset. This means that glasses can be removed and a more comfortable, immersive experience can be enjoyed.
