Is your VR blurry?
Let’s find out why.
Why Is My VR Blurry?
Wear the headphones correctly. The headphone’s bottom should rest on your cheekbones, while the standard strap cups the back of your head
Make sure the headset fits comfortably on your head. If the headset is not high enough on your face, your screen may be blurred.
Reasons Why VR Could Be Blurry
Because of the low resolution of the screen and the small field of view, VR is blurry. Poor lens quality and a lack of sweet spot cause blurriness.
If you compare Google Cardboard with Oculus VR, both function similarly when considering basic virtual reality. However, the lenses used for each device are completely different.
Google Cardboard has been discontinued but Oculus Rift S shows fewer blurry images than Google Cardboard. There is no headband for Google Cardboard so you need to position the lenses at the right place with your eyes’ distances.
Lens-related issues are the main factor for screen blur. However, physical issues can be fixed easily.
Possible Ways to Fix VR Blurry Images
Imagine seeing fuzzy images on your headset even though you were so excited to open up the box, remove the coatings, and wear them on your head.
Clean Headset Lenses Twice Every day
When using a VR headset, be sure to take care not to overlook even the most basic details. If your eyelashes accidentally touch one of the lenses, they will cause residue on the lens.
You might think of wiping off your glasses with a wet cloth or your shirt. However, doing so could lead to staining them.
If you’re using a VR headset, you may want to clean them regularly. You can use a microfiber towel to wipe down the lenses every day.
Another point to be noted:
Even a small amount of sweat or hair can make the picture blow out massively. Adjust to find your own sweet place.
Condensation often leaves stains on glasses. If your face is sweating and you just picked up your VR headset and placed it on your face, then it will go blurry within moments.
If you want to fix this problem, you must first turn on your VR headset for at least ten minutes. This will warm up the device, which will remove any haze from the screen.
Wear the Headset Correctly
Not every person has the same facial features. However, VR devices are designed for all types, but the only issue is that you must adjust the device for perfect pixel-level accuracy.
Be careful while adjusting the lens. You don’t have to be rough with it; just be gentle enough and make sure not to touch the lenses. Use a headband to fit the gears according to your suitability; if you see double vision or fog only then, turn the headband. Otherwise, leave it as it is.
The bottom edge of the earbuds should rest on your cheekbones, while the headband should fit snugly behind your ears. You should feel comfortable when bending down without the fear that the headphones will slip off.
If you wear glasses, things will be a bit tricky. Your lenses and the frame of your glasses should match their lining. You can adjust the distance between your lenses and your eyes by rotating the rotator wheel.
To correct the problem of the VR headset not working properly, first check if there is something wrong with the headset itself. If everything seems fine, then look at whether the headset is positioned correctly.
Adjust the PSVR Scope
To adjust the focus, zoom out until the entire screen appears blurred. Then, zoom back in until the central part of the screen becomes clearer.
Set up your PSVR headset in the following way:
- Go to the PlayStation 4 home screen and select settings and then go to devices
- Check out PlayStation VR and see how to put on the headset.
- Adjust the headset so that the letters appear clearly and smoothly.
- Turn the adjustment dial on the back of the headset until you’re comfortable.
Adjust the PSVR Eye Distance
Make sure that you adjust the lenses correctly for your own eyesight. If someone else has adjusted the headset for you, they might need to recalibrate the settings again.
Here are some ways to adjust the PSVR Eye distance setting:
- Go to the PlayStation 4 home screen and select settings and then go to devices
- Choose PlayStation VR Eye Distance
- Choose the default distance (63 mm or 2.5 cm) if you’re comfortable with this setting. Otherwise, choose another one.
- Follow the on-screen instructions for measuring your eyesight and choose next.
- Save settings to your account.
Adjust PlayStation Camera
If you’re playing PS4 games at night, position yourself and your surroundings so that your headset can properly frame you within its boundaries.
Sometimes, due to bad lighting conditions, the headsets may cause you to view dark and blurry images. To fix this problem, try brightening the room.
If you cannot position the headset correctly, adjust the PlayStation Camera settings so that they’re set up for clear viewing.
When trying to fix blurry vision caused by using VR headsets, you might also encounter issues like your VR device lagging when playing games. Here’s why you’re experiencing lag issues.
Why is My VR Blurry?
Why Is My VR Lagging?
Because of the motion sensor problem and because of a bad USB cable, VR lag happens.
With VR headset technology, there are multiple sensors that detect your surroundings so that you get an immersive experience. If these sensors lose their durability, you may notice some latency when moving your head.
Besides that, if your TSSAA (Texture Sampling Sharpness Anti-Aliasing) setting is too high, you may experience some lagging issues. To avoid these, you need to lower the TSSAA or disable it.
Conclusion
There are many reasons why your VR headset is blurry. It’s important to know what causes blurry images before you buy a new VR headset.
