The Psuedopancakes

Because paying $2k for a piece of plastic is BS. IPD system included.

The PsuedoPancakes is a DIY VR optics project aimed at making high-quality pancake lenses accessible without the $2,000 price tag of commercial solutions. Inspired by phone-based VR, the design rearranges optical elements to bring the lens closer to the eye, creating a compact display without sacrificing field of view.

The headset features adjustable IPD and focal depth systems, using threaded rods and knobs for precise alignment, and is designed to be fully 3D-printable with modular, screw-mounted components.
