Oculus Rift CV1 is great.
But there are a few problems for me.
I will try to fix them at this page.
Making of my own face pad
The official face pad is not good for me.
- Its side edge doesn't fit my glasses. (Most glasses might be same.)
- Its lower edge doesn't fit my nose. (Because I'm asian.)
- Its upper edge doesn't fit my forehead. (Because I'm asian.)
Fortunately, the face pad is removable from Rift.
So I will try to make my own face pad.
The new face pad allows 145mm wide glasses.
Materials & Tools
| Item | Detail |
| Hard board | Material for clips. Required sizes of plate are 150mm x 150mm. I used 2mm-thick vinyl chloride plate. It's easy to cut. |
| Metal plate | Material for base of face pad. Required sizes are 200mm x 100mm. I used 0.3mm thick alminum plate. It's easy to bend. |
| Foam | Material for cushion. I used foam tape. (It's common in Japan.) |
| Fabric | Material for surface of cushion. Required sizes are 200mm x 100mm. |
| Sheet metal snips | Tool for cutting a metal plate. |
| Scissors | Tool for cutting a pattern, a hard board and fabric. |
| Hot glue gun | Tool for bonding a hard boards to a metal plate. |
| Double-faced adhesive tape | Tool for bonding cloth to foam. |
