Adjusting the lens distance on the headset

The closer the lenses are to your eyes, the better the field of view.

If you need to wear prescription glasses while using Vive, adjust the lens distance for space to fit
your glasses in.

1. Pull out each lens distance knob to unlock it.

2. Rotate both lens distance knobs to adjust the lens further or closer to your face.

3. After you're done adjusting, push each knob to lock it back in.

Using the IPD knob on the headset

Interpupillary distance (IPD) is the distance between the center of the pupils in your eyes. A quick
way to get an estimate is by facing a mirror and holding a millimeter ruler against your brow. Use
this measurement as a guide to adjust the distance between the lenses of the headset so that you'll
have a better viewing experience.

To change the distance between the lenses, rotate the IPD knob.

As you adjust the IPD, you'll see information about the current distance between the lenses.
