Out of the Blue

Looking forward to getting to the eye doctor today, hoping that my previous experience holds true, and that I'll be able to walk out of there with a couple of pairs of sample contact lenses. This relates to the first definitive thing I'd like to say about the Oculus Rift, which is that I do not believe the talk of being able to use these with glasses, as I was able to dig out a very small old pair, but using them with the headset was still extremely painful. It got to the point where I couldn't put on the headset yesterday, as even thinking about doing so made my face hurt (Does your face hurt? Because it's killing me!). Anyway, based on my experience, trying to use a Rift with glasses is not practical.

I wear glasses (used to wear contacts until they became painful) and recently got a chance to try out the Occulus gear at an art installation in the Saint Petersburg FL, Dali Museum.

The experience sold me on VR, but I can see that games will have to be designed from the ground up to make it more than a gimmick like movie 3D.

The headset fit over my glasses with no problem and were quite comfortable. Maybe your set of glasses are too big, i.e. wide.
