AGC-VR (Another Google Cardboard VR Goggles)

I got inspired by someone's DIY OnePlus VR goggles here on this forum. Since I own a Nexus 5, I decided to give it a shot and design my own VR goggles. To get started, I researched various designs, from Google Cardboard to high-end gear like OSVR and Oculus. One of the Cardboard designs that caught my eye was called DAVYCI Pro. It had some impressive features - compact size, collapsible design, and the ability to mount any phone in its center viewing space. I used their design as a base for my project. Luckily, I stumbled upon some great lenses on Amazon that worked well and were budget-friendly. I think the best part of DAVYCI Pro's design was the back plate with four screws that allowed me to adjust any phone to the center of the viewing area. After playing around with it, I found that setting it up could be a bit frustrating, but I plan to make it easier in the future by adding channels for the bolts and using thumb screws. This is still a work in progress, so it works for now, but there are some flaws when using the rig. As soon as I have some free time, I'll refine and improve the design. For anyone interested in the lenses, they're 38mm in diameter and 50mm focal length. However, my experience was different - even though they said 38mm, each of the three lenses I ordered (one for spare) measured slightly larger: 39, 40, and a whopping 41mm. Since I used the 39 and 40mm lenses with my rig, I adjusted the lens holder to accommodate the 40mm size. So, if you're planning to buy these lenses, be aware of this potential discrepancy.
