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.
