Adding lenses to the headset for glasses wearers
The eye tracking does not work with my everyday glasses and just wearing the headset was not comfortable at all. So I did a small experiment to see if I could add lenses to the headset.
I bought this cheap frame, removed the lenses and fixed that in front of the HMD's lenses. For the moment, I use tape which is not perfect at all, but it's enough as a starting point.
There still is a lot of reflections on the lenses. You can see here a comparison with and without the lens:
With it, the eye tracking kind of work. It need frequent calibration and is not perfectly accurate, but it's enough to enjoy the headset and start coding a bit.

I just received my lenses (goggles4u) with anti-reflective coating. I picked round lenses. Fit perfectly in the headset. But, the eye tracking doesn't work through them. I think the tracking software should allows customization on what to track, like take a picture of the eye, let the use select the part to track then the eye tracker use the given data to perform its calibration.

So, for a few months, I abandonned my Fove... but yesterday, as I was doing some cleanup. I pick it up and told myself I should try it again. I was so happy to see the calibration working with my lenses from Goggles4u glued in it. My only problem now is the demos doesn't shows up in the headset.
Also, vr-lens-lab now offer a frame that can be used in any headset.
