The lenses, which are designed to support the next generation of room-scale virtual reality, optimize the user’s perceived tracking experience and image sharpness while reducing stray light. Valve is including the custom lens calibration and correction software within the SteamVR technology suite.。
Basically, the lenses will make everything look better and move more smoothly, which is really all we can ask for. 。
The lenses will only be available for developers of SteamVR-compatible headsets, Valve clarified via email, so not just anyone can buy these and attempt to install them on their devices.。
Developers who are interested in the lenses need to be Steam partners and have SteamVR Tracking licenses (which you can apply to get through the SteamVR partner website). The licenses are free, you just have to buy or supply your own headset for testing and tinkering. 。
With this semi-free flow of ideas and hardware, VR may make some pretty big strides in terms of quality in the coming years. 。
