It is well known, the main weakness of the Oculus Rift Developers Kit 2 comes from its lenses. VRBites also had a lot of problems with the lenses. Not only did they scatch, the lenses increase pixel size. Microsoft, which seems more and more involved in VR, offers an alternative to those with ‘lens troubles’.

The company has upload a file to help build better lenses for the Oculus Rift DK2. According to Microsoft these lenses have a smaller FOV, but that would correct the distortions and chromatic aberrations.

Microsoft has even published a comparison between the two lenses so that we get an idea: Tuscany comparison

 

Oculus vs. MSR LensThe sharpness seems really improved, but the construction of the famous lens will cost a couple of bucks. The lens itself will be around $ 90 Dollar per eye. The holder will be around 75 dollar per eye. That’s probably half the price of the announced consumer version of the Rift.

You can download the file and follow the instructions at Microsoft’s webpage. A 3D printer and lenses at Edmund Optics will be necessary.

Robbert As some of you may know, I have been suffering from the aftermath of a traffic accident, a severe case of COVID-19, and a transient ischemic attack (TIA). These events have taken a toll on my physical and mental well-being, and I can no longer keep up with the demands of running a VR website and channel. I want to thank you all for your support and feedback over the years. You have been an amazing community and I have enjoyed sharing my passion for VR and gaming with you. I hope you will continue to enjoy VR and explore its possibilities. I will leave the website and channel online for now, so you can still access the content I have created. However, I will not be posting any new blogs, videos, or news. I hope you understand and respect my choice.
