Yes, I know it's not supported, but I'm reporting this as an observed bug, because it makes the HP pretty unusable.
Sometime after January 25, 2020, the headset image on the HP Reverb G2 became uncomfortable to view, the left and right images were different enough so that stereoscopic fusion was very difficult.
To illustrate the problem, I used Steam VR's "Display VR View" to mirror the headset images to a desktop window, and captured the window contents as an mp4 video using OBS Studio. From the mp4, I took PNGs from movie frames showing the problem. I've attached two PNGs, which show a side view and a palms-up view of my avatar's hand.

  June 11, 2021. This is still a problem. To better illustrate the problem, I've taken two screenshots of the round baseball that can be found in your Home space. The one taken from the Oculus Rift is perfectly round, but the one taken from the HP Reverb G2 is elongated horizontally. Ugh!

  The IPD setting is the distance between your eyes, and it can affect the way the 3D image appears in the headset. The Reverb G2 has a physical IPD adjustment knob on the bottom of the headset. Make sure you adjust this knob to match your own IPD measurement. The headset should be placed securely on your head with the lenses directly in front of your eyes. If the headset is not properly aligned, you may experience issues with the stereoscopic view.

  If the headset is not properly aligned, you may experience issues with the stereoscopic view.

   

  That's correct! IPD stands for Interpupillary Distance, which is the distance between the centers of your eyes. It's an important measurement because it determines how the images align with your eyes when using a virtual reality (VR) headset. If the IPD setting is incorrect, it can lead to discomfort, eye strain, and a diminished 3D effect.

  The Reverb G2 VR headset features a physical IPD adjustment knob located on the bottom of the headset. This allows you to adjust the distance between the lenses to match your own IPD measurement. By correctly aligning the lenses with your eyes, you can optimize the viewing experience and reduce any potential eyestrain or discomfort.

  To ensure the best experience, follow these steps:

  1. Measure your IPD: You can use an IPD measurement tool or consult an optician to determine your IPD. It is usually measured in millimeters.

  2. Adjust the IPD setting: Locate the IPD adjustment knob on the bottom of the Reverb G2 headset. Gently turn the knob to match your IPD measurement. The headset typically allows a range of IPD adjustments to accommodate different users.

  3. Securely position the headset: Place the headset on your head and adjust the straps to ensure a secure fit. The lenses should be positioned directly in front of your eyes.

  4. Verify proper alignment: Look through the headset and ensure that the images are clear, well-aligned, and that the 3D effect appears natural. If the alignment seems off, make small adjustments to the IPD setting until the images appear correctly.

  By following these steps, you can optimize the viewing experience and minimize any potential issues with the stereoscopic view while using the Reverb G2 VR headset.
