Things keep getting cooler

The best you can from ODG currently are the R-9 Smartglasses.
These have a 50-degree field of view, 1080p resolution per eye, and 22:9 cinema wide or 16:9 aspect ratios, called the ODG R9. This model includes a 13-megapixel front-facing camera allowing for 4K video capture at 60fps or 1080p capture at 120fps, making it ideal for field work, documentation, and even live broadcasting. The device weighs just under 6.5 ounces and includes 128GB of storage, along with support for a variety of add-on modules to expand functionality.

   Pimp your Oculus



I use the Oculus Rift at work and at home. I can tell it is time to 'enhance' them. My main gripe is that I cannot use my glasses. I plan on eye surgery at some point so that will help. However, for now, I need to wear my bifocals. Since I can't I am left with contacts (that I hate) or just not seeing so well.  There is a company called VR LENS LAB that could help solve that problem but they are too pricey for me.

Seeing is one thing, being tightly tethered is another. I hate having to mess with my cables tugging me as they get wrapped around me or a chair.

Cable extenders are an easy answers. I looked on Amazon for an HDMI extender and a USB 3.0 extender. Any will work. You could use a standard HDMI cable along with an HDMI repeater . You may consider getting one or two shorter USB 3.0 extension for your towers.

          

Next on my list is the padding. The padding isn't really padding at all. It is so minimal and cheap that I still can't believe they went with that. Good news! There are 3rd Party upgrades available. I do plan on getting something.

Next on my list is getting a 3rd tower This can really help with continuous tracking of your hand controllers when you turn around. At home, my play are is small so no biggie. At work it is a little bigger. Not much, but I have run into the tracking issue. So a 3rd tower would be beneficial. Better get a long USB 3.0 extension cable.

I plan on trying some/most of these out. I am obviously not a sponsor for anyone so I must cough up cash for testing.

Fortunately, there is a free upgrade! It is software called Oculus Tray Tool. I am going to try that one out.
