    In this video I show you how you can noticeably improve the field of view of the HP Reverb G2. For this you need the following:
    A 3D print from the user "Jewcookie" from the following template:

      Without a nose insert this mod is useless, light coming in everywhere, I'll just keep using the stock facial interface on the G2, I bought a modded 3D printed facial interface online and it was useless crap without a nose insert that should of been provided with the interface, I don't why these people selling these 3D printed facial interfaces didn't do that?, freakin idiots, I'll just wait for a facial interface from Vr Cover to come out for the G2 at this point

    I bought the ebay 3D print kit and it works amazing! For $40 you get the gasket itself, foam pre velcro'd, nose piece and magnets. Really improves the FOV and I can really tell a difference. Be careful because if you're too tight your eyelashes and the middle of your head will touch the lenses!

    Hi I have been using it for a while now, I have been struggling with it kn the beginning. I have a special kind of 3d print materiel from work. It has a soft feel of cloth but is very high quality. It doesn't stick very well with normal double adhesive tape. So I used another work item which I think is double sided adhesive used for carpets. Now the problem is the nose insert which works perfectly after supergluing it to on small spots for the double adhesive to stick to. I am still waiting for my magnets which is just a quality of life so it doesn't fall of the headset when laid down. My conclusion is after making it all work. This is very very nice and I love it, I can see everything in my power armor hud in fallout 4 now. And there's almost non noticeable light leak from the nose now. I can recommend this just use hard 3d print plastic so the velcro doesn't come off.

    Hi Thomas. Glad you like my mod!
    I saw in your review that the 4x5mm magnets don't fit in your print and recommend to buy the smaller ones. Your information is incorrect and your printer might not printed it correct. The 4mm diameter magnets fit well for most people. You might not cleaned the hole correctly.
    V10 is almost finished and is a total remake. Check the Thingiverse! I will make the magnet holes slightly bigger in V10 so this issue is solved.

    I had my interface 3dprinted using Jewcookie's template, but the 3mmX1mm magnets are too small. I have to wrap the tape around them much more than 1.5 times and they still just pull right out of the holes. I have ordered some 4mm magnets. Hopefully they'll be a better fit.

      @baltogames1501 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 4mm magnets were a better fit for me, but I used clear tape (scotch tape from 3m) to wrap around them because the adhesive on my electrical tape was too weak to stay attached to the magnets. Now I'm just waiting for the facial interface and foam replacement kit to arrive, and I'll be all set! Can't wait to try this out!!

    Question,
    The face gasket provided by HP is is designed to put a certain distance between you and the screen? I have a very limited understanding, but from what i've read, the sweet spot is because of the nature of optics and the curve of the lens. The bigger the lens, the bigger the sweet spot. Wouldn't getting closer to the lens make the distortions or blurriness of the image increase?

    • @kobaltstaub287
      @kobaltstaub287 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @ Kyle , No, watch MRTV video when he goes in the lens with his camera, the closer you get the better the picture is, your eyes being closer to these lens has nothing to do with distortion, even the worst of them (old Oculus CV1) you can get your eyes so close to the lens you can feel your eye lashes touching it and distortion is not increased but the FOV is

    • @bryonmiller4326
      @bryonmiller4326 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Depends on your face shape and how deep your eyes are in your skull. Sweet spot on default is large for me, it has to be the size of my head and where my eyes are. Too many people report issues with sweetspot for that not to be the case. So it might work for you or it might not, it depends on the individual.

    You're right about the face gasket, HP should have had more care to design the gasket in order to maximize the FOV. That's not the only one defect of G2, think of controllers and tracking. Nevertheless I made my homework and I understood something about HMD FOV I want to share with you Thomas. I faced the question in my long article here: vgartsite.wordpress.com/2020/11/29/a-beginners-guide-to-vr-headsets-part-2/. In short, today you cannot have big FOV and at the same time the same quality of image as G2. Everyone confirms that G2 has the better quality of image in terms of definition, contrast, brightness, colors, black (for an LCD panel); it's the actual benchmark for quality of image. You cannot have the same quality with bigger FOV in today LCD panel. You can do some trick, e.g. tilt the screens, see the V shape of Pimax; even the Index screens have a small canteen angle; just a gimmick that reduces the stereo area, introduce some disalignment, affect the sweet spot, the uniformity of density and the clarity. I think that G2 has no tilt angle, the screens are parallel. Another trick is introducing thicker and bigger lenses and as consequence more distorsion at detriment of clarity and definition. Third solution: you can use bigger screens. Well, we have big problems here. The bigger the screen the lower the pixel density; if you want the same definition you need higher resolutions. But higher resolutions are a problem for actual GPU. Bigger screens = bigger lenses = bigger distorsion and less definition and clarity. Bigger screens = bigger price and bigger power consumption for granting the same quality of image. And you know? The bigger the screens, the bigger the temperature and the heat of the displays, especially if you want the high definition, brightness and contrast as the G2. You know? They risk getting burned at 90 Hz!!! I'm not jocking, that's the truth!!! Now you can understand why Pimax headset have not the same quality of image as G2 and are so far more expensive; and even why Index displays are not on par with G2 displays (I'm not speaking of resolution). In conclusion, if you want clarity, definition and quality, today you have to be satisfied with diagonal FOV about 110°-114°, just as the Varjo or the G2. I'm sure that in the next future we can expect bigger FOV with the same quality of image and the same price as G2, but not today. So I think it's not the case to complain about the G2 FOV.

They're about as difficult to use as VR is, i.e. it's in that enthusiast realm that requires a little tinkering, but you learn a lot and then it's like riding a bike. The problem with 3d printers is they take forever to print. If you do get one, the real difference is between ABS and PLA because they're the most common. PLA will warp or melt in lower temperatures than ABS. PLA works on a non heated build plate, ABS will work with a heated build plate. They'll market the printers in various ways, but the main difference is that build plate and what materials you want to use.

      It's not actually the thickness of the cover but the curvature of the plastic that's the issue.

The modded faceplate is less curved which lets you push your face in and compress the cushion more before having the plastic poke you.

    (this is not my opinion anymore, I made another comment.) The fov gets better but it's much less comfortable than the g2 default interface and the light is leaking from that flimsy nose guard that comes with this. It is not the "perfect" fov mod. Hope something good comes out soon.

      You might get away with the hack of using the samsung odesssey+ face gasket directly velcroed to the headset. For some people they say this works but for me my eyeballs touch the lenses. When I take the gasket off and look at the gasket compared to the lense they're nearly on plane so only makes sense this would only work if you have pronounced eye brows. They need to realize there needs to be at least SOME variety in face shapes when they make VR headsets. Its like making shoes in only a men's 8 to 10 and advertising the shoes like they'll fit everyone. Some people are getting instant headaches from the gasket. How is that acceptable when the original vive had at a narrow and wide face gasket. That was 5 years ago. Isn't technology supposed to improve?

    Anyone else disappointed with their G2? The sweet spot is pretty small and the face mask kills FOV. A really poor combination. Should I really have to mod a $600 headset? All this purchase has done for me is reaffirm my position that HP is still meh and my $300 Samsung Odyssey+ was actually pretty damn good.

      I read something that said the small sweet spot can be enlarged by upping the resolution per eye from 50%-100%, as 100% is actually the correct number to achieve native VR (in SteamVR). Give that a shot if you haven't already. I'm going to try it tonight.

      @@karlkanner3467First of all, thank you. I love comments where the sole intention is to help others instead of the popularity contest that exists everywhere.
      The main game I play is unoptimized (DCS) and I simply can't afford to up the resolution.
      I achieved a better sweet spot and FOV by getting my eyes closer to the lenses. I liked how it looked with no mask at all but it was extremely uncomfortable. So I stopped using the included mask altogether and instead just use the leather guard from an Odyssey+ velcro taped to the G2 directly, no mask. It's a bit annoying as it doesn't fit perfectly and requires a bit of adjustment every time I put it on. But genuinely way better than stock.
      The stock mask just puts your eyes too far from the lenses imo.

    • @Zeeflyboy
      @Zeeflyboy 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      No, FoV is determined by hardware design. The software is merely made to render what the hardware is capable of displaying. That is irrelevant here though - the point here is that many people can’t get their eyes close enough to the lens with the standard interface to maximise the FoV that is actually available. It’s really quite simple - make a hole in a piece of cardboard and hold it away from your eye - you have a very narrow FoV, bring it right up to your eye and you have a much bigger FoV. Same thing here, if the facial interface is holding the lens too far away it’s like moving the piece of cardboard further away.

      @@brin57 you are missing the point. Like I said it is about not being able to see the FoV the headset is actually capable of displaying due to your eyes being too far away from the lenses. A smaller interface moves your eyes closer if the original one is too deep for your face shape.
