I finally got my rift yesterday after a long wait, and I cant help but feel disappointed in it. It was my first VR experience besides a 5 minute Gear VR demo. I see all of the potential, but the field of view is way smaller than I expected. I feel like I am looking through a small oval into a larger world as opposed to having my peripheral vision see into the vr space as well. I have tried every position for the lenses, but I can still see their outlines when I am using the headset. It's hard for me to feel like I am "there" with the black oval outline as well as the lens' outlines directly in my vision. The nose gap also feels a bit too big unless I make my room pitch black.
Lucky's Tale looked good to me, butI think its because the cartoon style works much better for the low resolution. Eve Valkyrie and Project cars both look incredibly blurry and distracting, especially the menus in project cars. It is hard to read any of the text. Virtual desktop is also nearly impossible to read for me unless I zoom way into it.
I'm hoping I just have a miscalibration somewhere, but I have spent at least a few hours trying different camera, lens, and headset positions. Anyone else feeling the same? Perhaps I like my hype get the best of me and built up unreasonable expectations. I don't wear glass, and my PC has an i7 4790k and a 970.
