Question

Why do nearsighted people still need to wear glasses in VR if the distance is artificial?

In: 15

Answer 1

the distance in the game is artificial, but the distance to the actual physical screen isn’t

however the screen is far too close for anyone to actually focus, so lenses are put in to correct for this, except the lenses are made for people with normal vision to make the screen focus as of it was far away, so nearsighted people still have to wear glasses to compensate
