Project Log 8: Major Updates Coming Soon!

A project log for Easy "Pancake Lenses"

Because paying $2k for a piece of plastic is BS. IPD system included.

You all may think that I am done by now! However, that is not the case! 

There are a few problems I've been focusing on fixing without reducing FOV or visual quality! One of my employees (Summer, AKA the GOAT helping carry a lot of development with the headset's software) was able to make a few fixes to the design! In particular this includes adding the ability for everything to be snapped together instead of needing any epoxy!

Updates are still maybe a month out but they overall include things such as

- Better focal lengths so the entire image is taken up

- A rig that allows you to figure out the optimal focal lengths and distances for your own design

- A video explanation of how I go about creating lens designs

- A new shell design that is cleaner, smaller in dimensions and easier to put together (A v3 is in progress which will be the best of all and completely smooth) and

- A second, more minimal design WIP!

More coming soon!
