A project log for Easy "Pancake Lenses"

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

Finally more work on my headset, particularly the pancake lenses are almost done! 

I am going to increase the focal distance on the front lens so the display edges can't be seen. Tried and it worked with 3 lenses but because of 3, image quality dropped. I am aiming for 100 to 120mm to work hopefully, else I will just reduce the size of the lenses. 

I also am considering not adding an IPD system because the sweet spot is HUGE, if I did I also would make a small edit to the lens, allowing IPD from around 47 to 75mm. Dimensions so far are 6 x 0.75 x 3 0.75 inches, with the motherboard and eye tracking it will likely only change in depth to 2.5 inches. 

Tomorrow I will add in the display, peripheral LEDs and the part to cover the eye section. That part will snap on since in final it will be connected to padding, for easy cleaning. Then I can add in the x86 mobo, eye tracking and an IMU before moving to the cameras and finally the headstrap. I will open source those parts too, albeit later since the complete headset is actually for a product! I will however be dropping the models here with a few notes tomorrow with a few notes in an update!
