Glasses wearers would not have to wear their glasses while using PSVR 2 if a dial to increase or decrease the distance between the lens and the VR screen were added.

Some headsets have this and it makes a massive difference in comfort for those of us with glasses.

I've tweeted this to Playstation but my tweet literally has 0 views. There's still time to make a critical change here. Anyone got "an uncle" at Sony ? Or some internet clout?

To clarify (haha), this would adjust the focus.

Wearing glasses with a VR headset on top is uncomfortable.

With Gear VR for example when you move a dial on the headset you can adjust this so you don't have to wear glasses. It's awesome. PSVR doesn't let you do this so you have to have two things sitting on your face which gets tiring.

PSVR 2 should totally include this!

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Oh yeah, I will give my soul for this, no glasses !
Meanwhile I use sometimes disposable lenses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I always just put my contacts in but have heard good things about ordering prescription VR lenses that attach to the headset by magnet. Bunch of companies make these and I'm sure will also be available for PSVR2.

yeah this was exactly the case with oculus dk1 back in 2013. It just had 3 sets of lenses each with different distance to the screen

So annoying having the pressure applied to your face by the headset pushing up against your glasses this would be incredible.

I thought there was talk about this having a focus dial, but maybe that was just wishful thinking.

I'm a bit nearsighted, but not enough to make VR stuff all that blurry at the typical ~2m fixed focus current headsets have, so I just play without glasses instead of bothering with spacers and shit. But I would definitely appreciate a focus dial.

I hate fixed focus btw, makes it impossible to read stuff too close to you etc. Makes it feel like your eyes are broken. Shouldn't eye tracking make dynamic focus theoretically possible? Would be awesome.

Like $80.
Chump change if you are forking money over for a PS5 and PSVR2.

I haven't worn a PSVR 2 (for obvious reasons), but I was perfectly comfortable wearing glasses with PSVR when I borrowed it from a friend. Unlike other VR headsets I've tried, which really don't allow for glasses (and that means I see fuck all).

My issue is astigmatism (my vision is quite fine otherwise), and I don't see how lens adjustment would correct this.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Appears that it does,

The dial mentioned there is for adjusting the distance between the lenses (because people have different spacing between their eyes), not what this thread is about.

 

[Kilau]

I wonder how PSVR 2 will work for me. I’ve always been near sighted but now I need reading glasses. Just pathetic my eyes.

I confirm this, I bought a pair of headset lenses from https://www.framesdirect.com/virtuclear-lens-inserts-for-oculus-rift-s.html for my RIFT S and it's AWESOME.

 

[Kuranghi]

Exactly, I don't keep my glasses on when I'm munching crotch either, gets too steamed up otherwise.

the PSVR2 does include Vents tho... to prevent the lens from fogging... so the glasses should too

 

[Dream-Knife]

Misread OP.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I believe it’s agreed virtual reality is meant to be worn without glasses.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Does the first PSVR not have this? The HTC Vive does. Thought it was a pretty standard feature?
