Created by Thingverse user Jegstad, the [Oculus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-glasses) Rift CV1 prescription lens adapter works by enabling users to input their prescription lenses into the headset. This functionality enables users to not have to worry about wearing their glasses during use and connect more organically with the content being enjoyed. The VR lenses adapter was created using a [3D printer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-3dprinted-glasses-frames) and has been incorporated directly into the design of the headset. This means that glasses can be removed and a more comfortable, immersive experience can be enjoyed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Prescription VR Lenses:** Personalized prescription lenses optimized for Virtual Reality headsets. - **3D Printing for VR:** Utilizing 3D printing to create VR components, increasing customization for users. - **Wearable Tech Health Accessories:** Expanding possibilities for personalized wearables beyond basic health tracking to enhance user experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Optometry:** Partnering with VR companies to offer custom VR-compatible prescription lenses for clients. - **3D Printing Manufacturing:** Providing 3D printed customization services for VR components. - **Wearable Tech:** Creating add-ons that optimize VR experiences, that can be sold together with health wearables or incorporated into said devices themselves. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [3D-Printed VR Headset Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/0-vr-headset.md) - [Hybrid Experience VR Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xr-glasses-concept.md) - [Extended Reality Gaming Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtue-one.md) - [Digital Professional VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-vr-headset.md) - [Prescription-On-Demand Eyewear Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prescription-on-demand.md) - [Precision Visuals VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dpvr-e4-pc-vr-gaming-headset.md) - [Virtual Reality Headset Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playstation-vr2-adapter.md) - [3D Designer Headset Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-eye-ar-glasses.md) - [VR-Enabling Exercise Attachments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/360vrfit.md)
