I used probably the worst head-mounted display in existence. It's a hand-made HMD with eye tracking. The optics (two simple lenses) are so bad that after 40 minutes using it I had the worst eye problems imaginable. I couldn't see properly for over an hour. I saw everything double and my eyes were aching a lot. At least I get 20€ for this experiment torture.

@adiwan people need to realize that eye tracking is not just about the software, if the hardware can't handle it it's going to give people horrible headaches
-
@zennx The problem is that there exists professional equipment for eye tracking in head-mounted displays but it's quite expensive.
-
@adiwan it's expensive NOW, wait a while, the price should be going down soon
same thing happened wit Blu-Ray readers and overlock stitching
it's expensive cuz it's new, the components themselves aren't very hard to make, it's just that many people/companies don't do them yet -
@zennx unless you live in brazil, in this case the price will only go higher and higher
-
@zennx I was told that the current professional-grade eye-tracking system for HMD devices costs 15000€. A price the computer graphics department is hesitant to pay for.
