  • A soft rubber gasket cushions the display against the lens assembly, and seals dust out of the clean-room optics chamber.

  • The lenses are glued in place in their frame, but with a bit of encouragement (e.g. some heat and a good push) they pop right out.

  • These are 14 mm thick conventional lenses, with no Fresnel stepping, and a smooth dome shape. That means the lenses are quite a bit thicker than the Fresnel lenses in the Vive and the hybrid Fresnel lenses of the Rift.

  • While Oculus and HTC chose to shave off some weight with thinner lenses, these coke bottle lenses should scatter less light from the display, and provide a more cohesive image than the optics in the Vive or Rift. Fresnel lenses tend to create optical discontinuities between their steps that can break the image up into chunks.
