ValveRecently I experimented with some lenses because I couldn’t stand the glare of the original lenses. I bought a VR smartphone headset, took out the lenses, modelled an adapter for them, printed them and tinkered a bit with the distortion. The glare is gone, unfortunately there’s a bit of pupil swim and/or distortion and a reduced FOV but I can live with it. If anybody wants to try this mod and maybe improve upon it, here’s the „ingredients“: 1x pair of lenses from the BOBOVR Z6 or VR Shark X6 headset: I don’t know if those two headsets are the same, but they sure look like it. They probably are just marketed with a different name in different regions. In Germany they are called VR Shark X6 and apparently you can get them as second-grade goods if you ask the distributor. 2x pieces of this adapter: The distortion profile: Vdeo and pictures: [Replacement lense](https://reddit.com/link/e4y3tr/video/7j860e45m7241/player] Deleted first video because it doesn’t really represent the actual Output. submitted by /u/apeirophobic_ferret |
I replaced the Valve Index’s Lenses – no more glare, alas a bit of distortion and reduced FOV
