Another Extreme Ipd Mod

Very clean instructions with Pics(8kX)

I wish they would see that it would be important to make the 8KX with more travel and start with the lenses almost touching. I have not heard of anyone not being able to get them far enough apart!

I am lucky because my IPD is 60.5 and I can get a very clear picture with both eyes. I believe this is because I ware glasses and the multi optics do a bit of correction for me. With small adjustments using a grid, I can do the final measurements. I know Fresnel lenses have a very tight tolerance for distance to the screens as they are short focus - but small adjustments in that would be great also vs using different thickness face foam plates.

Seeing the inside, it looks like it wouldn’t have been that hard to make the lens movement independent. I hope that a future headset will implement this possibility, it would avoid using software offsets, which obviously are not the same thing

i am having a mostly successful attempt at this mod. it went well except for the scratched lenses and the right screen is completely dark/off. cleaning the fingerprints off of the fresnel side of the lenses was challenging and left a few scratches… completely unnoticeable while in use. although hard to tell without a working right image…

more tomorrow…

I am one, with my ipd 74mm. And there are others.
Mostly I use 8kx without problems, but a few mm more would be nice.

i forgot to connect a ribbon… all good now:)
