    Hi.
    I'm building 2DOF driving sim and I tried to evaluate different display options... I tried few TV's, but in cheapo side all had slow panel and picture was very blurry when riding through wales forests... Three 24 inc monitor seems too small.

    Then I discovered that there now is software which enables PS VR on PC. This seemed good option price vs easy to get, so I bought one...

    I got it to work as extra monitor, which is like bigger screen than my 24", so head movement acts like I'm looking different parts of monitor, okay.

    But, I don't get it any focus on this!!! All the way picture is blurry and text in desktop is hardly readable.
    I tried all kind of positions in my head, different distance settings of front part and so... I'ts a big downer....

    Has anyone tried PS VR on PC and have you any idea why i cannot get proper focus?

    Hi!

    I did read almost hundred pages of frustrated PlayStationers who has the same problem as i have. Some of them has discovered that same VR-set is okay on some other user, so there must me something odd with lens-display dimension that does not suit to everyone.

    I just wonder how like oculus or htc has resolved how to set focus on their products. Also as I do wear classes it is not so comfortable to use these with them. I could use without classes if there were somekind of aspherical adjustment for other eye.

    Any thoughts?

    Just tried it today, and similar result than I had few months ago when trying the Vive: the resolution is so low that I lose all the immersion effect.
    Back to my 3x40" setup, with a complete 180degrees of screen in front of me (3x1080p), the result is for me a lot more immersive (and of course a lot nicer to look at).

    Let's see how VR will be in 5 years, when both the headsets and GPU will handle proper resolutions.
