PECOOVR

If you want to use the PlayStation VR2 while wearing glasses, then there is a possibility that you may end up scratching the lenses of the virtual reality headset. To prevent this from happening, you can get a spacer that prevents your glasses from hitting the VR lenses.

During your research, you may have found the PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector on Amazon. So, is this product worth getting? You can find out in this article from Seeking Tech.

What’s Included

The PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector features a left and right spacer insert for the lenses of the headset. It also features a microfiber cleaning cloth that you can use to wipe your glasses and the lenses clean.

All of these are stored inside a hard carrying case in case you need to take out the spacers and put them away somewhere safe.

Installation

Unfortunately, there aren’t any text instructions included with the PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector. You will only find a video of the steps from a video posted on the Amazon product page or YouTube.

Function

The PECOOVR Spacer does what it advertises as it adds a few extra centimeters to the outer edges of the left and right lenses in the PlayStation VR2 headset. By doing so, your glasses should not be able to make contact, and potentially scratch, the lenses.

While Sony has confirmed that you can wear glasses with the PS VR2, there have been many reports from consumers that they end up scratching the lens. Even if you are extremely careful when putting on and taking off the headset, scratches can happen if you move your head too much while playing a VR game.

Therefore, a spacer such as the PECOOVR can help save you time and money in terms of making you avoid sending your PlayStation VR2 unit in for repair.

We have been playing with the spacers equipped for dozens of hours so far and have found that the lenses of the VR headset have remained scratch free. These hours included playing titles that require a lot of movement such as Beat Saber, Pistol Whip and Les Mills BodyCombat.

Overall

As long as you installed it correctly, the PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector does what it advertises as the product creates space between the lenses of the headset and your glasses. As a result, your glasses won’t cause any scratches to the lens.

While a little bit on the expensive side, it does come with a cleaning cloth and hard carrying case. You can find the current price of the product on Amazon with this link. (#CommissionsEarned).

If you have a 3D printer, or know someone that does, then you can use the print instructions provided by Lowfategg on Thingiverse in order to print out a compatible spacer.

The PECOOVR PlayStation VR2 Smooth Glasses Spacer Protector does not come with any printed instructions. To see how you can properly install this accessory to the virtual reality headset, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you take the two spacer protectors out of the carrying case.

2. Look on the outer rings of the spacer protectors and you should see the L and R letters. You may need to inspect these accessories under bright lights to find these labels.

L indicates that the spacer is intended for the left lens of the PS VR2 while R indicates that it must be put on the right lens.

3. Next, lay the PlayStation VR2 face down on a soft surface. We recommend using a soft surface so that you don’t accidentally scratch or damage the scope and/or tracking cameras when installing the PECOOVR Smooth Glasses Spacer Protectors.

4. You may also want to find a way to keep the PlayStation VR2 upright. You can use your off hand to hold the headset and your other hand for installing the protectors.

In our case, we put the PS VR2 face down on a sofa. The soft surface of the couch prevented any scratches and damage while its back support keeps the headset stable while freeing us to use both hands during the installation.

5. Take one of the spacers and then make sure that the L or R isn’t upside down.

6. The L or R should be pointed towards the nose cut out of the light guard. So, you should make sure that you have the correct positioning.

7. Once you are sure you have the correct position, carefully align the spacer into the outer edge of the lens.

Avoid applying as much force as possible during this step as you don’t want to scratch the lens when maneuvering the spacer around.

8. Once you are done fitting the spacer, carefully push it down the lens in order to secure it. Make sure you push down on all sides of the spacer to ensure that it is equally leveled.

9. After installing one of the spacers, follow the same steps to install the other one.

10. You should be done installing the PECOOVR Smooth Glasses Spacer Protectors.

If the spacer or your skin made contact with the lenses on the PlayStation VR2, then you can use the cleaning cloth that came with the PECOOVR carrying case to carefully wipe the lens of any dirt, oil and other debris.
