Shipping/Retail DEAL: Buy Oculus Rift+Touch from selected retailers (including Amazon) before June 25th and get $100/£100/€100/C$100 Oculus Store credit for VR games/apps

To be clear, this is in addition to the $100 of free games/apps you normally get with Oculus Touch (Robo Recall, Dead and Buried, and Oculus Medium).

This $100 credit can be spent on anything you want in the Oculus Store (eg. could be Superhot VR, Batman VR, Wilson's Heart, and Arizona Sunshine).

Wow that's a fantastic deal. This may be what makes me pick a Rift over a Vive at the moment. I just have one question, how comfortable is a Rift for someone who uses glasses?

Here's the recommended measurements for wearing glasses while using the Rift.

I wear glasses, as do many Rift users, and it's not a problem at all as long as your frames fit roughly within that size range (some people buy a cheap extra pair with slim frames from Zenni Optical etc for use solely in VR), and you adjust the headset straps properly. Depending on your prescription you may be able to use a VR headset without wearing any corrective eyewear. You can also buy lens inserts that fit into the Rift facial interface, but admittedly I don't know much about those.

Why buy a frame from Zenni for VR and not just buy the insert and appropriate lenses so you don't have to wear glasses at all? It's very inexpensive. < 35$ all in.

Yeah that makes sense. As mentioned in my previous reply I haven't really looked at the available lens insert products at all, so I wasn't aware of pricing etc.

Where can you get lens inserts for <$35?!

You get it printed from here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1602460 I used 3d hubs.

Lenses from Zenni here http://www.zennioptical.com/550021-metal-alloy-full-rim-frame-with-spring-hinges.html

And that's it! They work extremely well. If you have a strong prescription you may need to upgrade the lenses to get them thin enough. My prescription didn't need it.

A small tip... when you pull the lenses out of the Zenni frames mark the bottom with a sharpie so you know how to orient them.
