VR Rock magnetic lenses for Quest 2 evaluation

Right this moment I publish a evaluation in regards to the magnetic lenses for Meta Quest 2 offered by VR Rock, a Chinese language firm promoting equipment for VR headsets. Since I’ve no want for prescriptions, I’ve examined the anti blue mild lenses with no prescription.

Unboxing

This has been considered one of my best unboxings ever: contained in the field, I’ve discovered a number of pluriballs, after which inside lastly a small case with the lenses inside. You’ll be able to watch all of it on this brief video right here under:

Setup

Organising the lenses has been fairly straightforward following the tutorial on the VR Rock web site. Each lens aspect consists by the lens itself, which has three little magnets round it, and the holder, which is one other round plastic object with the identical form because the lens however no glass inside, which has additionally three little magnets. All you need to do is take one of many “empty” holders and push it in order that to make it stick across the lens of the Quest 2: once you hear a click on, it’s accurately caught across the Quest lens. Then you need to do the identical with the opposite one, taking good care of placing the one with the “L” written on the left lens, and the one with the “R” round the fitting lens. After you have got put in these two holders, you possibly can put the prescription lenses on them, and the little magnets will ensure that the lenses will keep in the fitting place. You’ll be able to watch me putting in the prescription lenses within the following video:

As I’ve stated, the setup has been fairly straightforward, however I had some points putting in the holder of the fitting lens on the Quest. I don’t know if the form was not completely appropriate or if the fabric was not bending in the fitting method, however it took me extra time than anticipated to make it “click on” by shifting the lens holder in each doable method. This has been somewhat drawback I discovered with my pair of VR Rock lenses. Fortunately, as soon as I made it snap, the holder was steady. However this situation left me the impression that the manufacturing was not a premium one.

Video evaluation

I’ve made a video evaluation of those lenses, and you’ll watch it right here

…in any other case, as it’s custom of this weblog, preserve studying for the standard textual evaluation!

Consolation

As soon as I put in the lenses, I instantly tried my new modded Quest. And I’ve discovered precisely the identical issues that each one folks on-line describe about magnetic prescription lenses typically.

To start with, they make the lenses of the headset thicker. The holder and the lens contact all of the round area across the eye, so it’s strongly suggested so as to add a glass spacer to your headset, or you might really feel an excessive amount of stress from the prescription lens in your eye and the encompassing space. Even eradicating the lenses and simply maintaining the holders nonetheless applies extra stress on the highest of the nostril, as a result of it makes the circle of the lens of the headset a bit wider. This stress on the attention is a typical drawback of this type of lenses, and I’ve to say that’s at all times good to maintain this in thoughts once you purchase this type of accent. I feel the stress is bearable, however anyway diminishes the general consolation of the system.

Even worse than that, there’s the issue that for the reason that magnets should not robust sufficient (as a result of they’re little), the lens can barely transfer on prime of the holder. You’ll be able to see this within the video right here under:

Whenever you transfer your head throughout a VR motion recreation, additionally the headset barely wobbles in your head, and this additionally makes the lenses have small actions across the holder whereas they contact your face. Since these lenses contact instantly your facial bones due to the thickness, you have got the feeling of one thing barely shifting in your bones. It’s a really bizarre sensation, I haven’t preferred in any respect. So, if you happen to put on these lenses, make additionally positive to safe effectively the headset to your head utilizing an acceptable strap to make sure that it doesn’t vibrate that a lot.

Anti blue mild impact

As I’ve stated, I don’t want prescriptions for my eyes, so I requested the corporate to only ship me some anti blue mild lenses.

I truthfully don’t know what to say about this anti-blue mild characteristic. If I make some mild (e.g. the daylight) replicate on the lens, I see that the reflexes are blue-ish or green-ish and this reveals that really the lens displays away some quantity of blue mild. However after I put the headset with these lenses on, I wasn’t capable of discover any distinction from earlier than. So I began making some exams and effectively, as you possibly can see on this video, the distinction within the ensuing picture of a blue-ish aspect isn’t that massive:

I made additional exams, and the result’s that sure, they make the general show of the headset seem as barely much less luminous, and also you discover that particularly with the white coloration which turns into barely much less sharp. So some filtering of blue mild occurs, however it’s a fairly light-weight one. Whereas sporting them I had no noticeable impact of getting much less eye pressure, however truthfully these are additionally issues that are troublesome to judge.

Carrying case

The lenses are supplied with a cute carrying case. It’s inflexible, however lined with material, and inside there are two small pockets to hold the lenses with you safely. It’s easy, however I preferred it loads: it’s small and stylish, for my part.

Availability… and somewhat present

You should buy these lenses (prescriptions and/or anti blue mild) at this hyperlink: . The value relies on the wanted prescription, however often is within the vary of $60-80.

You’ll be able to freely determine if you happen to like them or not, however in case you need to purchase them, you should use the low cost code SKARREDGHOST once you try to have a -5% low cost. Thanks loads to VR Rock for having made this little present to all of you that learn my weblog!

Ultimate impressions

I’ve blended emotions about VR Rock prescription lenses. I truthfully assume that if you happen to don’t want prescriptions, in all probability there’s no compelling want to purchase them only for the blue mild filtering characteristic. The discount of the consolation they trigger for his or her thickness and their vibrations isn’t well worth the small quantity of blue mild they filter.

In case you want prescriptions, every thing modifications, although. I do know from my pals that sporting glasses once you put on a headset just like the Quest 2 could be very uncomfortable,and likewise dangers damaging the glasses themselves. Magnetic prescription lenses, even when they aren’t good, supply a way more comfy expertise than glasses, so they’re well worth the buy. You determine what to do primarily based in your scenario.

At this level, I think about you might be questioning how these lenses stack compared with related merchandise from WIDMO, VR Lens Lab, and different ones. I truthfully can’t make any comparability with the opposite lenses in the marketplace as a result of I’ve tried no different prescription lenses for Quest 2. The impression I had from making an attempt these lenses and watching the evaluation movies of the opposite ones, is that these ones are in all probability not probably the most premium yow will discover in the marketplace, however they’re anyway okay.
