My little project: Homemade VR goggle

Welcome to /r/hoggit, a noob-friendly community for fans of high-fidelity combat flight simulation. Discussion primarily focuses on DCS: World and BMS. This is not a full on reprimand-you-for-having-your-navigation-lights-on-when-you-shouldn’t-have type outfit here. You’ll find we foster a laid back atmosphere to learn how to work the various modules available in DCS. Since i posted a thread about stereoscopy, alot of people take interest in my homeade VR goggle. While this is not some ground breaking invention and many people on the internet have already done this, but i’ll make a quick share of my work on how it was made, how i select my component and some assembly process 🙂 The body is a VR box designed for android phone. I bought this for about 8$ (this is the highest quality that i can find. I looked for the clearest lenses, adjustable DPI and seperate diopter for left and right eye. First i tested the optic quality with my phone, and discovered that the focal point of the lenses are off! So i can’t have a clear picture even if i backed my diopter dial to the max. But returning such a cheap device is not worth it, so i improvised. Solution: increase the distance between the screen and the lenses. The screens are 1440x1440p each. Their refresh rate are 90Hz and connect to the PC via HDMI cable The screen and driver board will be mounted on a piece of cardboard, with some elementary school mathematics and drawing skill The screens have 2 modes: Mirror and Extended. The screens works very well on Windows 10. However on Linux, they have this weird purple tint like this and i can’t get rid of. This is from the same machine, same VGA, same port. Only change in OS. With the HDMI converter board mount at the front of the headset, it is time to put everything together. The headtracking process is handled by an Arduino Leonardo mount at the back of my head. This headtracker utilize a MPU 6050 gyro to sense my head movement. I tried using a MPU9250 with magneto sensor to avoid yaw drifting but have not success, since the code is not maintained anymore and deprecated. Maybe I’ll try again another time.
