I’m happy to answer any questions anyone has. After my experience using it with my phone, I now intend to but a second one solely for use with my phone as well.
COLORCROSS GOGGLES PC
I have just placed an order for a 7” 1280x800 LCD screen which I intend to mount permanently in the ColorCross for use as a display for my PC as the start of a sort of “Hackulus Rift” project which is what I purchased the ColorCross for. VR aside, it was great just to watch movies on and is at least as good as any personal cinema viewer I’ve ever tried. Worth noting however is that the ColorCross did include an over-the-head strap which was absent on the Dive.Īll in all, I’m really pleased with this purchase and, for only $40, it’s a bit of a no-brainer if you have a use for it. The head strap isn’t quite as nice as the one that came with the Dive but that’s a small gripe. Wearing the device became pretty uncomfortable after about an hour and I may end up cannibalizing the pad from the Dive. The Dive came with a pretty comfy pad to support the device against your face but the ColorCross has only a very thin rubber “gasket” (for lack of a better word). The quality of the lenses seems pretty decent although I only have the Dive to compare them to.Ĭomfort is a bit of an issue. The mechanism to adjust the IPD is a bit loose on mine but I should be able to fix that with a bit of Bluetack. I’m not sure what the minimum is but I know I have an IPD of 63mm and I have to adjust them about 3mm short of their maximum throw. IPD can be adjusted on the device as well.
The lenses are fully adjustable and I was able to set them up to overcome my nearsightedness without having to wear glasses or contacts. I can’t imagine that a 7” phone/tablet with any sort of bezel at all would fit in here. While the description of the device on the dx.com website claims that it will hold phones up to 7”, I think my phone is about the biggest device you’d want to put in it. I would have preferred some sort of spring loaded mechanism. My phone is held in place surprisingly securely but I’m not sure how long the “ratcheting” mechanism which clamps down on the phone will hold up to repeated adjusting. Another issue is that the phone’s screen is completely enclosed within the HMD leaving you with no access to the touch screen (I used a keyboard and mouse sharing application called ShareKMS to get around this). My phone fits perfectly into the device, although the power and volume controls are completely obstructed. The lenses are much bigger too and, while I think the FOV is about the same, any distortion around the periphery is greatly reduced over the Dive. My first impression of the ColorCross HMD was that it was much sturdier than I had anticipated. A fact which I was aware of before purchasing but I was able to make some minor modifications to get it to work. One of the issues was that it was too small for my phone. I purchased the Durovis Dive a couple of weeks back and, while it was a neat first foray into the world of HMD’s, I wanted something better. In both devices, I am using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. My first HMD was a Durovis Dive which is the only other HMD I've had experience with. I'm relatively new to HMD's so please forgive any terminology I may get wrong.
I haven't seen any reviews of these online so I thought I'd share my experience with mine which arrived only yesterday. ack-336607) which, as near as I can tell, are identical to the "NEJE LG-01 Universal Google Virtual Reality 3D Glasses for 4~7" Smartphones" which can also be found on dx.com (. This post is in regards to the "ColorCross Universal Virtual Reality 3D & Video Glasses for 4~7" Smartphones" HMD which I purchased at dx.com (.
