Persons with one eye and VR

[188AHC]

How well does a Vr work with a person without binocular vision?

Its works the same from what i heard, only difference is lack of depth perception, exactly like in real live.

Wearing a VR set is a bit like wearing a scuba diving mask. Your field of vision is restricted, but the mask follows your head movement and people with two eyes see everything in 3D, since the brain combines the two slightly different views from each eye to create one image with depth. With a single eye, the mask will just create a 2D image, but it will still follow head movements.

I would imagine that a head tracker like TrackIR would be an alternative for one-eyed people, with a larger field of vision. However, TrackIR itself accelerates head motion by about a factor of 2, since it uses a single detector that can only track head movements up to about 45 degrees. I personally got nausea from TrackIR, but I am fine with VR. For other people, it can be just the opposite, so trying it out yourself is essential. If you cannot try a head tracker or VR set from a friend or local store, I would start with TrackIR because it is way cheaper than a VR set. There may also be other head trackers that use more detectors, but I haven't looked into this.
