Aye. It bugs everyone, and makes no sense whatsoever...
).
To me, that sounds like getting old. Once you turn over 40 your eyes lose the muscle strength and flexibility in the cornea for close up vision. The VR is a fixed focal length of 2m so not having the constant changes on focal distances may be causing you to notice this more. I would suggest taking the headset off between races to aid in this, which leads to the next point.
I ordered this https://amzn.to/3Yw8ow5 from recommendations here. I really made a huge difference in holding the sweet spot and it's much easier for taking off and on between races that may help with the eyesight as well.. It also made the headset more comfortable to wear.
That is one thing we do have!
Probably, 39 this year
Looks great but unfortunately I cannot order from Amazon to Serbia, my options are Aliexpress or Temu, I think I will find some alternatives there. Thanks
Yup, all microfibers do a great job, once or twice, when they are brand spanking new
I will try your suggestion with the individual wipers!
To reply to myself I actually went back to the earbuds that came with the PSVR2. They actually have more bass but the critical thing was that it is just easier to get the headset off quickly post-race so I can switch back to 2d for for doing screen grabs of the results board. I always take off now between races and I find I can go a long time without messing my head up. For instance I survived 21 races this week!
Welcome to VR2 with GT7...Reading all these comments... I just had to do it.
View attachment 1376972
I set up everything last night and had my first proper go with this, having basically no previous VR experience whatsoever.
First thing I did was going to VR showroom with my factory red F40, in front of the GT Cafe, and oh my god jesus christ, I almost **** myself from amazement when the image appeared, I was literally reaching with my hand to touch the car. Chrouched down to read the details on the tires, looking at the brakes, the lights, the details are ridiculous.
I spent the first hour probably just switching between cars and admiring the enteriors and exteriors, and then it was time to have the first drive. Jumped back in the F40 and gave it a spin on Grand Valley at sunset. No words to describe the feeling, the seating position, the sound, steering animation, the sense of depth, the surroundings. Tracks seem wider, and I don't know how but I can actually feel the elevation change even without the motion sim, probably the brain doing its things. I felt a bit sick in the first 30 seconds, but it just dissapeared when I processed everything and got used to it, and I kept on driving for the next 4 hours without a single issue. Well, that's a lie, I have issues today because I can't keep my eyes open at work because of the 3AM driving.
Some positive conclusions from the first session:
- The feeling itself is incredible while driving, really not comparable to the TV, it's like a completely different game, like it's not even a game
- The best moment of the entire session is when I had my first proper race against the AI, group 3, Spa, cars flying and buzzing around you, in front of you, going throug eau rouge at full speed and competitors are right there 1 meter left or right, it was actually scary at some point, I was literally afraid that I will crash into somebody, I felt like in real traffic
- When braking too late and hitting someone from the back, even if it's like just a small tap, you get a real sense of space, how long is the bonnet, and the additional feedback/vibration from the headset makes this even more immersive, I was feeling bad like I just caused a real accident
- I think I can catch the rear end much much quicker and easier, almost didn't have a single spin, even in the Gr3 Merc at Spa, in the rain, without TC, somehow you just feel the car much better than in 2D view
- Feeling of the elevation change is mind boggling, tried the 190E Evo at the Eiger 500PP race, and I was left speechless
- Now all the PD bull**** about collecting cars actually makes some sense, driving the legends even in stock form is an incredible experience, even if they are not usable in races and events, just sit in them and drive around the Ring/Valley/Spa/Eiger and enjoy
- I actually had no physical issues, I read about motion sickness, sweating, headaches etc... None so far
Some negatives:
Can't wait for my next session tongiht
- I definitely have to practice this very much, I'm not nearly as fast as on the TV, but I expected this, it's a process, like changing from the pad to a steering wheel, I kept missing my braking points and I still need to learn what the real track limits are
- I'm really missing the race order list while racing, I don't know the gaps, that's probably my biggest issue with this, rest of the HUD is more or less ok, but how is it possible that we don't have the option to turn this on?
- The VR2 itself is a bit picky when scanning the room and maintaining my play area, had to readjust 5 or 6 times, and every time I turn off the lights and the TV because I don't want to wake the kids, it has some issues after a while and I had to rescan the room (even though I'm sitting in the same place all the time, in my sim rig)
- The sharpness and the clarity is far from ideal, I mean I was not expecting it to be as crisp as on a new 4k TV, but still I believe this could be much better, when I'm driving the car enterior looks sharp and nice but the track in front of me is kind of blurry and pixelated, I hope this will be improved with some later update or even with a PS5 Pro / PS6 / whatever is next
I had plenty of time this past weekend to experience GT7 in VR. As an owner of the previous PSVR headset with GT Sport, I expected a much, much better experience and I wasn't let down at all.Eagerly awaiting @Bass Addict 's first hands (headset) on impressions
They're great! I did just get a set of Pulse Elite headphones and I'll talk about those in a bit.I decided to try the Sony 3D headphones that I had laying around rather than the VR head buds. I think I’ve lost grip with reality
I feel seen . . .
I'd like to suggest a couple of things for the Elites.
Camera lens equipment FTW. Dad built his own darkroom in the basement.
This. A billboard would be great; I have no problem picking up flags, for example
For the GTWS events I would calculate the number of miles/km for the race, figure out my pit strategy. Normally while there may not be a lap counter, there's often (but not always) a working odometer in the car. This gives me a window of a couple of laps for my strategy.
Don’t think so.
Mine is +3 to +3.25 depending on the eye plus negative cylinder and wacko axis. My eyes are a mess. The VR-Lens-Lab lenses are good. Made a big difference and they are a high index type lens so they are about as thin as you can get them. That was the reason I went for them over others. They also have an efficient design so there is no mount next to the nose.@TheNormsk how are the lenses so far? What is your SPH? I recently went to check mine for the first time, I've got +0.5 on both, bought the glasses, it's a night and day difference when reading something or looking at the small text on my phone, so clear and sharp, but I didn't notice so big a difference when wearing them under the VR, I mean I can do it, no issues, there is actually quite enough space, unfortunately the lack of sharpnes still remains, I guess that's the limitations of the game/console/graphics, not my eyes

If I look at video, it is apparently clearer even when I am not looking at it if the image is not jumping around a lot. It will still pixelate in a fast pan, but overall it looks a lot crisper. I did notice that it will still distort at the very edge of the image so it is like the focal circle has got larger.
This is why I am surprised but I did not see any improvement with 1.49. Doing the Eiger TT the HUD was just horribly pixelated with the RA272. Perhaps I need to recreate that and see if that has improved. The RA272 at Eiger?
That just drifts in and out anyway from recording compression. Not in the same league as the HUD.
Also...right hand glove looks pixelated.
I bought a packet of 200 Carl Zeiss lens wipes, used by optometrists and for cleaning expensive medical lenses. They are recommended for all expensive lenses.Yup, all microfibers do a great job, once or twice, when they are brand spanking new
