the other thing about vr is that the software is really important. you can have all the specs in the world but if your tracking is bad or you get frame drops then it super sucks. I have an hp reverb g2 that has some of the best displays on the market. text is super clear. but it sucks at tracking the controllers and headset and the windows mixed reality runtime it depends on really sucks

i'm also crazy nearsighted but using poo poo like google cardboard is fine (i haven't tried "real" headsets though). its like looking through a viewfinder or binoculars, taking my glasses off is just a hell of a lot more comfortable

the halo design is much better than the elastic strap design, both friendlier to glasses and less face pressure. it sucks that the quest doesn't use it, but it's probably more expensive

Really the only issue is that it's not ideal for my head shape, so I have to tilt it a bit awkwardly and it starts to hurt after about two hours. The tracking isn't as solid as Vive/Rift but IMO it's a good tradeoff for not having to gently caress around with cameras and lighthouses. That said I haven't used it in probably a year, but the main reason is that there aren't games. Lone Echo and Alyx are pretty much the high watermark so far. I'm not particularly interested in grinding best scores in Flesh Saber or whatever.

what would even be the best way to respond without immediately rolling over? ignore because its not legally binding? send them back a big gently caress you? rope in one of the other vr mfgs to wage war? public shaming?

Wild EEPROM posted:what would even be the best way to respond without immediately rolling over? ehh a mix. lol it is technically legally binding, but if you just ignore it they would need to get a court order to have it enforced and if it's really not actually relevant a judge might just not do that anyway. public shaming can help there, but not much really, and it can definitely backfire the paper trail is super important if you want to quash one. probably what i'd do is send them a nasty letter questioning its relevance to the matter at hand, raise whatever objections there are and why, tell them i therefore decline to respond and will file a motion to quash with the court if they persist. if it's on shaky legal ground and they know it, usually that's enough if it progresses to the point that it actually winds up in front of a judge, they could look at your previous objections and decide accordingly, assuming they're valid. they may also decide that you're wrong, or that both parties are, and then narrow it somewhat to whatever is deemed relevant since an attorney can send a subpoena for pretty much whatever, there are pretty stiff penalties for demanding an unreasonable amount of poo poo or records that are dubiously relevant

My optometrist handed it to me on a slip, and I believe Lenscrafters will do so automatically as well. I'm not sure they'd actually be allowed to purposefully conceal medical information from you. by law they have to give you your glasses prescription so you can use a third party, they do not have to for contacts because they had a better lobby

Wow, that's some rear end in a top hat move. I was concerned about being able to get my prescription in a form to take home so i could buy more pairs from Zenni. what sort of questions should i ask up front? Note that I do intend to buy one or two pairs from the place i go to for my exam; i'm going to give them some business. but the whole exercise is to get my prescription so i can buy a dozen pairs of hosed up weird glasses from china

I haven't worn glasses in a long time, but whenever I get an exam for new contacts I always get a little form with all the prescription info on it without even asking for it. Sounds weird to be having any trouble with that at all unless you're trying to fuckin slickdeals some free eye exams or something.
