Creating DIY virtual glasses, often referred to as VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, can be a more complex project compared to other DIY endeavors. However, I'll provide a simplified guide to creating a basic version. Keep in mind that professional VR devices are sophisticated and involve advanced technology, but this DIY version will offer a basic experience.

Materials Needed:

1. Smartphone:

   • An old smartphone with a gyroscope can be repurposed for this project.

2. Cardboard or Plastic Frame:

   • Create a frame to hold the smartphone securely.
   • You can find pre-made cardboard VR headset templates online.

3. Lenses:

   • Biconvex lenses, typically with a focal length of around 45mm.
   • These can be salvaged from inexpensive VR viewers or purchased separately.

4. Velcro Strips:

   • To secure the smartphone in the frame.

5. Elastic Straps:

   • To secure the VR glasses on your head.

6. NFC Tag (Optional):

   • If you want to add a touch button functionality, you can include an NFC tag.

Steps:

1. Frame Assembly:

   • Cut or assemble the cardboard or plastic frame following a VR headset template.
   • Ensure the frame is wide enough to accommodate your smartphone and that it's comfortable on your face.

2. Lenses Placement:

   • Attach the biconvex lenses in the designated slots on the frame. The lenses help create a 3D effect by magnifying the smartphone screen.

3. Smartphone Mounting:

   • Attach Velcro strips inside the frame to securely hold the smartphone in place.
   • Make sure the smartphone screen aligns with the lenses.

4. Strap Attachment:

   • Attach elastic straps to the sides of the frame to secure it to your head. Adjust the length for a comfortable fit.

5. NFC Tag (Optional):

   • If you're adding a touch button functionality, attach an NFC tag at a comfortable location on the frame. This will act as a simple touch button when tapped against the smartphone screen.

6. Install VR Apps:

   • Download VR apps or games from your smartphone's app store.
   • Place the smartphone in the frame, wear the VR glasses, and start the app.

7. Adjustment and Enjoy:

   • Adjust the lenses and the smartphone's position until you achieve a clear and comfortable view.
   • Enjoy the virtual reality experience!

Tips:

• Use a smartphone with a high-resolution screen for a better VR experience.
• Look for open-source VR apps and content that you can explore with your DIY VR glasses.

Keep in mind that this DIY version provides a basic VR experience and may not match the capabilities of professional VR headsets. Always be cautious when adjusting and wearing DIY VR glasses to prevent discomfort or eye strain.
