Random: Here's The 'Switch Visor' - For The Lazy Players

Lol could be good for late night sessions!

Hey look, this is exactly the same as all the other VR systems!

There's your switch VR

@Heavyarms55
Dammit, beaten by 22 seconds

Just get a PSVR, it's easier.

Yeesh.

Neat, though rough.

Hilarious!

Having a 720p screen that close to your eyes wouldn’t be Pleasant...😳

"Switch Visor - A new way to play for lazy people."

I am too lazy to make one. Or even put the switch in it if I did. How do you plan to fix that?

I guess 3D printing is the contemporary version of toilet rolls, washing up liquid bottles and sticky-back plastic.

@Nincompoop and "expensiver"...

I'm getting Virtual Boy deja vu and I'm not even sure why.

just read an artical about some girl turning blind in china cause of small screen long play sessions,

so no thank you

My switch is hooked to my projector my bedroom. It projects onto the ceiling so I can lay in bed and just look at the ceiling. having it hooked to my face would ruin my eyes.

Beware of Eye's problem !
Your eyes are your Windows.
Treat your eyes carefully.

@Donutman that is absolutely crackers and I love it!!

I'd wear this on the bus.

@TJM best $200 I've spent. I got an adaptor so my iPhone hooks up to it too

Better eat plenty of carrots!

Now you just need two lollipops and you'll have a PS VR.

@Donutman That's hilarious - well Bladerunner!

Because sitting in front of a TV is a challenge...

He looks basically exactly as I'd expect a Neofa...gaf user to look.

No it's not April 1st

Hey guys/gals - there's an easier, cheaper way to accomplish this same task - and you don't even have to strap it to your face! Right, all you need is a gooseneck tablet mount - you can grab one on Amazon for about £12. Depending on the thickness of your mattress, you can either mount it to your bed frame or your headboard - no need to leave it in place permanently, you can setup/remove it in about 10 seconds. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/EasyAcc-Gooseneck-Cellphone-Rotating-Reinforced/dp/B01J19TE84/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1507814912&sr=8-4&keywords=gooseneck+tablet+mount I use it with my tablet mostly, but it DOES fit the Switch, though only with the joycons removed and grasping it from the sides (which is secure and allows ventilation). You can sit up in bed in use it in front of you, lay down in bed and poise it above your face, and even rotate the screen to play in TATE mode for SHMUPs! Note, however, that it is a bit wobbly - mostly only noticeable before you've settled into position, though.

For everyone who seems concerned with eye damage, that is a myth/old wives tail. You can Google the science if you like.

Didn't Nintendo file a patent for something that looked pretty identical to this?

Ah yes, here it is: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/12/nintendo_switch_patent_provides_insights_into_vr_accessory_and_console_touchscreen

So that would suggest that an official accessory that does this is probably coming sooner or later, although without head tracking or room mapping it's never really going to be "VR," just a head-mount.

@DEADCELL Judging someone by their looks, nice...

There has to be some serious reflection going on inside that box - due to the material.

crazy and brilliant. Nintendo will do the VR thing with the next iteration of the Switch i think but time will tell

Lol i wonder how the guys Splatoon experience is with aiming with head turning.

I would only buy that thing if Switch got a porn title which it will never had.

Actually he's wrong, it's not for lazy people at all. It's for people who don't like to have neck tension and arm cramps. So basically everyone.

But that visor has a major flaw which makes it unusuable: you can't see where you're going.
Since it only makes sense for playing on the go, the visor should actually hold the Switch about 20cm away from your face so that you can still see your surroundings.

Sombody buy this man a sandwich!

This is cool and all but honestly it goes against anything Switch since Nintendo's own focus and marketing is the social aspect and the take it with u and share ur joy-con stuff.

@superguy123 Got a link? That crap freaks me out - wonder on that stuff when I'm playing 3DS.

@JonnyTenebrous Safe for whilst playing in the tub? I want a mount like that for the bathroom!

@DanElectrode
Just because a company files a patient doesn't mean it's going to make it to the public.

"Never have I seen someone work so hard to be so lazy".

Also, "Switch VR" arrived earlier than I thought.

@subpopz PSVR works with the Switch. Just no VR but you get an iMax screen in front of you.

P0rnhub vr switch confirmed. XD

@dang69 here it is

I admit, I was about to crack a joke, then a thought hit me that there might be bed ridden and/or people that must spend more time lying than sitting up, even if for a short time, so suddenly this doesn't sound like such a bad idea. Prolly could be perfected further but not as bad as it could be I suppose...

There is a couple of things this switch visor needs.

1. Some light suppressing ribs/baffles or black felt lining to reduce internal reflections.

2. Get some reading glasses to focus the screen further away to reduce eye strain. Perhaps these reading glasses could incorporate some prismatic divergence to prevent going cross eyed too.

Apart from that, it looks cool.

Omg use this, turn on gyroscope aiming and motion controls on Skyrim Switch- better Skyrim VR O.o
