What does the rift look like to people with one eye?

just curious on the subject considering iv seen a couple youtube comments asking the same and my grandfather also only has vision in one eye. I know it won't work for a immersed 3d effect obviously but is there any difference than just looking at a normal screen?

anyone with experience on this would be greatly appreciated

A person I know which only has one eye (lost the other eye in a freak accident) tried my rift. Initially that person didn't expect much, but that person did say once the headset was on that it was working just fine and there was immersion!

Clearly the rift works for 1-eyed persons, at least from their perspective. They see the world differently than 2-eyed persons and they've adjusted to that. It's not the same, it never is, VR doesn't magically give them 2 eyes.

But the point raised with giving 1 eyed people a wider FOV because the panel only has to cover one eye instead of two is very interesting. Instead of having a split screen you could have a full screen with just one lens.

The best answer I saw was close one of your own eyes while using the rift.


Nope thats not true i have deepth informations of 83% I need to test it for my driving license. If u close one eye your brain will going crazy because its not normal for u 🙂

If u are seeing anything with one eye since your birth its different, because depth informations is coming from our brain.

About the FOV I see the edge, I thoughts its only me but my optician has the same prob 😄
