Snap VR Display

thingiverse

This is a functional snap-together VR display that serves as an educational tool for teaching the fundamentals of VR display design in my classes. Detailed information can be found in the README.txt file included with this project. Please note that this display is not intended to be used as a viable solution for gaming or other real-world applications, but rather as a teaching aid to help students grasp the basics of VR technology. The display is designed to be modified and customized by users, and I encourage you to experiment with different configurations and share your results. If you do decide to make modifications, please acknowledge the original design and provide proper citation. We employ ARToolKit markers for head tracking using the webcams on students' laptops, making this project a fun and affordable undertaking (approximately $50). The Tontec 1024x600 7" LCD panel is used in this display and can be sourced from Amazon or other online retailers at a relatively low cost. The lenses utilized in this design are 38mm diameter glass magnifiers with a focal length of 50mm (20 diopters), which provided surprisingly minimal distortion despite being made of glass. Plastic magnifiers may also be suitable alternatives, offering a more affordable option without compromising on performance.
