I have 'coke bottle' glasses, even with thinner lenses they're pretty thick.

I don't have any problems using the Q2 with the provided spacer.

not heard that one before !

you can measure your glasses to see if they fit, i think there's a guide/fitment on oculus site

They look pretty good actually. Will add to the front-heavyness a bit though.

What do they need protecting from?

Whacking your headset with the controllers. I've done that a few times while playing boxing games.

It seems punching yourself in the face is the thing to do these days.

Fair one, can't say I've ever done this

lol

I laugh, but this is something I have done!!

Maybe I should get me some of those.

Just got my Quest 2 and loving it... really shouldn't be playing with it at work but its my first VR experience lol.

I've noticed that if i pull the headset abit further away from my eyes i can see slightly better, making me want to get a thicker face padding to give me that extra distance. Anyone recommend a decent foam one?

Thanks

Didn't it come with a spacer for people who wear glasses?

Well the extra spacer certainly helped and its a lot better!

Next up, get my eyes checked and see if i need specs :cry:

Gave myself motion sickness by doing the ISS space tour... felt so disorientated lol, took some getting use to. I've noticed it definitely needs a counter balance, so ordered a battery holder and Anker Powerbank. Feeling the strain on the back of my neck after an hour of use. Might consider a different strap to even out the load to make it abit more comfortable.

The ISS experience is definitely not one for beginners!

You're telling me! i felt proper sick and nearly fell over haha!

Already managed to scratch 2 walls while playing Gorn, so addictive!

Jay85 · 15 Apr 2021 at 14:44

4 hours on Gorn last night, what a game! Need to try it on Steam VR for better graphics but for what it is on Oculus, it was amazing! Wasn't a huge fan of the floppy weapons, but in general its seriously good!

I was thinking of getting the clear one of these and removing the Q2 front plate to aid cooling and give it a different look. But after checking out the unmantle video it looks like it doesn't just unclip from the front.

VR cover glasses spacer. Bit of a con really as they should've made their interface compatible with the oculus spacer like AMVR did.
