That pincushion effect is precisely how VR lenses are designed. Those who have been using stereo slide viewers for a long time will know that the cheaper optics often were plagued with the "pincushion" effect. To be more specific, the lenses distort simply because they aren't corrected optics. Now, is it a VR or a 3D viewer ? By this I mean, do the lenses distort or not ? The answer is yes, the lenses distort, but no they are not wide angle. So, as far as I am concerned, I will continue to hold a 3D viewer in my hand, whether one wishes to call it a 3D or a VR viewer - which is what I have done with this viewer. And certainly, women won't care to get their make-up smudged or to end up with a nice red outline on their face after having worn a VR display on their heads for a few minutes !!! And I can easily imagine women (and many men) would object to the straps messing up their hair. Attaching a viewer to one's head is simply not comfortable. In fact, I think this will be a very major hurdle to the adoption of VR.
I personally found that the viewer was a good fit for my face, but I simply don't enjoy having a viewer stuck to my face. The viewer has head straps permanently attached and it is a pretty tight fit out of the box, but there is a means to loosen it. It even came in a nice printed cardboard box with Chinese only text. It only took 17 days to get here (Canada) from China. I received my ColorCross VR viewer yesterday.
