Despite having two perfectly functional eyes, my brain only uses the right one due to a squint I had at birth which later improved but by then my brain had wired itself to ignore input from the left eye unless I close my right one (I get a quick shift to the left of everything in my FOV when I do this). As a result things like 3D cinema don't work for me (and I find using a telescope much easier than binoculars!).
If VR really takes off am I going to be unable to join in or will it work with one eye?
- klintwood 10y agoThe "3D" effect is one of the least exciting features of VR headsets. If that was all VR had to offer it would be just as much of a gimmick as 3D Video. You will still get all the benefits of moving your head around, motion controls and so on.
- corford 10y agoAwesome! My main worry was depth perception stuff being problematic (I have occasional issues with that irl but no idea if it would be the same, better or worse in VR).
- klintwood 10y agoIt should be very nearly the same in VR. You will still get the parallax from moving your head, even small rotation can add a lot to depth perception. Best try it out before you buy it. If you don't have a store offering demos near you, many VR enthusiasts enjoy showing off their hardware to others just as much as playing themselves.
- corford 10y agoThanks for that, sounds promising. Will keep an eye out (haha) for somewhere offering demos and give it a whirl.
