Preparation

Headset Configuration

  • Remove the rear-insert, it is designed only if headset is not tight enough
  • Measure IPD (mine 4.6mm) and adjust as much as possible
  • Adjust focal as near as possible to your face
  • Darken brightness (30% for me)

In Headset Tips

  • Stay hydrated
  • Use eye drops
  • Remember to blink
  • Generally, focus forwards and turn head rather than using peripheral vision
  • Stop before eye-headaches/light sensitivity
  • When stoped, look at something in the distance
