Sorry to disappoint you Dan
My frustration with this is all the energy Apple is spending on it (wasted in my view), at the expense of any number of other things many of us would like to see improved, updated, bug fixed, etc
I've had this issue on my PSVR2. It seems to be the light coming from the screens and refracting off of either the built-in lenses or the corrective lenses I installed. For PSVR2 it's just... part of the deal. I'd be surprised if a proper fitting doesn't resolve it for the ultra-expensive AVP. If this is a widespread issue, people are going to be disappointed.
It doesn't matter for PSVR2 because it costs 1/7th what the AVP does.

And here I was hoping once the APV actually got released all the nay sayers would just fade away and let people enjoy their devices. Silly me.
That's exactly what it is on PSVR2. I'm really kind of dreading the potential disappointment this afternoon when I get the AVP. Ugh.
Because as everyone knows, Apple products were absolutely bug free before June 5.
And there were absolutely no product lines that went years without updates because more successful products were what was important at the time, oh no sir.
yeah i think its worse when you wear lenses of have lenses between the device and your eyes,
Of course it’s there
They’re using pancake lenses, what were you expecting? Magic?
I think you’re incorrect. I’ve used the exact fit on another unit a friend bought, but now the one I bought has glare, especially while watching movies in cinema mode.
What I’m experiencing is a lot of white haziness around my field of vision when watching a movie in the cinema environment, and when looking at bright white windows like a safari webpage. But even still a little haziness in other circumstances.
there is no light coming in from the sides, I’ve blocked out the sides to be sure, and no change. And it’s even worse in a totally dark room. So light leaking from outside isn’t the issue.
I’m using it in a warmly-lit, but well-lit, room in my home.
I guess I tried my friend’s device in a daytime setting, so maybe all that more natural white light counteracted this? I dunno. All I can say is that this can’t possibly be the intended experience, because this isn’t enjoyable. There’s a white haze all around…it’s terrible to look at.
Feeling very bummed if this is the expected experience.

I have the same thing. Pretty bad. I got fitted at store. At store it was noticeable but not that bad. At home it was terrible. Only got to play around at home for about 20 mins so will mess with the fitting I get back home tonight. If it stays that bad it’s definitely going back.
I tried it in pitch black, and had the same experience. I’m praying there are defective units out and about. Because this would be a huge hit to usability if this is the experience we can expect
Other apps and elements are fine. it’s the bright white ones
It’s DEFINITELY glare from screens inside. Btw when I was doing demo in Apple store, there was light filtering in through the sides of the fitted thing. Not through cracks but through it (it’s a mesh like matetial). when I pointed this out they said it was normal.
I am using mine right now. I had no issues during the day, but at night I see a halo type glare. I would a say this is a deal breaker for watching movies at night…In the day I could go to cinema mode and it was perfect, at night, it’s almost like the screens inside are causing some type of reflective halo.
