You're the one who mentioned Japanese engineering, lol. My car is a Mazda 2 but called a Toyota Yaris iA.

You got confused.
I was simply saying every country has good stuff and you mentioned Japan, lol.
Yes, corrective lenses for the Oculus do indeed make it much more enjoyable to use (vs fiddling with contacts or wedging an older pair of glasses into the hmd...)
Haha fair enough.
Here's something else that's fair enough though, if you got prescription lenses for 80 bucks, you didn't get the best.But that's not necessarily a bad thing. They didn't bankrupt you, and they do the job. That's what's important.
I won't be buying a VR system until they come with a way to do prescription optics with software however.
They will be very expensive if they can do all that, and complicated.
It is nice to see all the little details.
Yes, they're fantastic, but they're made of too many parts and require high maintanence, and will stop working in 6 months, and repairs will be very expensive.

LOL, just a lense with a cap that pops over the VR lense mounting, lol.
Germany is well known for the quality of their optics. That history goes back at least as far as WWII and they have been making top-quality optics for quite some time. If you go into any research lab you'll most likely find a Zeiss microscope and many high-end rifle scopes are also produced in Germany. Their firearms are also very highly regarded as well, for generally the same reasons, i.e., quality and precision.
They are if you are buying a mid-end or high-end model. Shipping is only a small part of the price you pay on the MSRP on a 5-series or E-class, most of that price is due to the engine, drivetrain, interior and other expensive features (plus the general mark-up on anything that is considered a luxury product). The reason BMWs are so much more common in Europe is that there are many "economy" models of entry-level BMWs available there which aren't sold in North America at all and have very modest features. If you take a look at the badging on those European models you'll also find many of them are turbo diesels that are designed much more for economy than for high-end performance. It helps if you think of them more like a Toyota or Honda with a BMW badge.
The issue is that many people don't look at the VIN and see where the vehicle was actually manufactured. The vehicles that are still produced in Germany or Japan are generally of higher build quality than the North American models. The issue is even worse for vehicles produced in Mexico which are generally lower build quality than those produced in North America. The difference between, say, a vehicle built in Germany vs. Mexico is quite substantial and this is why Volkswagen, who now produces many of their vehicles in Mexico, has dropped significantly in terms of their reputation (the VW emissions scandal is another reason).
There isn't really any sort of "program" that can help you with certain vision problems, you will need corrective lenses in the vast majority of those cases.

Shouldn't the VR goggles also be bigger in Texas too?
I did something similar with cyclops for diving. Got a pair of diving glasses and added subscription lenses. Best diving experience EVER.
EDIT: Got a link for the site? I could need them for my VIVE.
You bet, they make them for Vive also, the friend that recommended them has his for his Vive and loves them.

I think his point is that both are good.
