Video headset optics? Not unlike Cardboard.
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2015 9:57 pm
Hello, I've been reading through the interesting posts here while looking for someone that has found some decent off the shelf optics I could use to make a basic pair of video goggles.
Basically, I'm looking for:
- low distortion
- low chromatic aberration
- generally wide viewing angle, maybe ~70deg
- close screen distance from eye
I understand that Cardboard has more crucial requirements since the field of view is the entire eye. I'll be using the widest 16/9 screen that is clearly in view when looking through the lens. I can tolerate a little pincushion effect...might even make it look like the new curved TV's.
I've ordered some Cardboard optics to test out but would appreciate it if you guys had any direction for me to move towards. I realize since I'm only going to be looking at essentially a "tv screen", I could cut the objective lens to make it fit in a smaller package...I may do that.
Thanks very much
