VR Lens Lab - Glasses for Oculus Rift / HTC Vive

One of the big problems with VR is the inability to wear large glasses with your chosen headset, but what if you could put some prescription lenses inside your headset? Let's have a look at VR Lens Lab's VR Glasses, which have only recently started their Kickstarter campaign to bring these VR Spectacles into production.

What these add-on lenses enable is for glasses users to use VR without requiring them to wear their glasses or contact lenses with their VR Headset, though clear non-prescription lenses will also become available as these can offer protection for the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift's original lenses from scratches, as well as keep them clean/ dust free.

One other key aspect about these lenses is that they are also made with a VRMC coating, making the lenses hydrophobic, anti-static and scratch resistant, which should make these lenses very easy to clean.

Right now, if users don’t wear contact lenses with their VR headsets, they are expected to somehow squeeze their glasses inside the unit. This can become uncomfortable when your temples come under sustained pressure from headset straps or when the nose pads of your glasses are pressed heavily against your face. In some cases the lens of the VR headset can rub against your glasses scratching both lenses. That is a big problem. With VR Lens Lab, we have created easy-to-use glasses for your headset that you can simply leave within the headset. It is virtual reality eyewear just not for you but your VR headset.

Right now the Kickstarter is just for the production of frames and models with clear/non-prescription lenses, though any prescription lenses from +6.00 to -6.00 can be made for by directly contacting the company for around 49 Euro.

VR Lens Lab plans to offer lenses for all popular VR HMDs such as the Oculus Rift CV1, HTC Vive and Gear VR in 2016 and support future headset as they are released.
