Log 3: IPD Systems, Displays and XR

A project log for Easy "Pancake Lenses"

Because paying $2k for a piece of plastic is BS. IPD system included.

Hey, some notes on progress!

THE LENS FINALLY HAVE A HOUSING!

This is a scale show against another optical module! Mines is larger for a better FOV, while also being designed in a way where you can view a full image with the nose in mind (which a circle design does not account for)!

I tried to take some photos with the lens but was using a phone so the images came out distorted! I will show two anyways.

I used a 2.9 inch 2160x2160 display instead of my phone, although the lens can easily be scaled for other headsets! Soon, I will make a tutorial showing exactly how to do this!

It's a bit hard to tell through these, but there are no RGB lines (which seemed to happen because of phone), god rays are almost nonexistent and the display is a small distance away from the lens, at 0.75 inches! With the lens system being around 0375 inches, this puts the entire system at around 1.2 inches! This matches the Kopin P95 pancakes, which boasts 2.6kx2.6k at a 1.3 inch form factor, however mines having a wider FOV, being more ergonomic and literally costing %1 the cost. 

More updates to come, working on a next gen lens system to make the FOV as wide as possible!

I will drop the model once I have the next part working!

More on this soon.
