This makes so much sense

You gotta be kidding - this is AWESOME!
What is the purpose of the fan though, I am not aware of any overheating issues.
Any chance he can upload instructions?
I am myopic and when I recall correctly, there are studies showing that VR headsets can be used to control and/or reverse myopia by automatic accommodation training. So I am definitely considering building such a VR headset for myself haha

The fan is for your comfort, since your body temperature tends to rise when using VR.
I’ll ask if he’ll send over all the parts again.

Is that only 1-5 modules for a ZP custom I see?

Not necessarily.
Could be that the modules are added in groups of 5, to keep the process more manageable. 1-5, 6-10, and so on.

lmfao
i think there are build options, like 5 mdules, 10 modules and etc and prices differ
What will be the range of number of modules in a ZP custom?
This appears to be the most recent information:
As @SaintSovereign said, the fan is for comfort. However, it also helps massively with fogging of the lenses. With the fan, there is absolutely zero fogging - you can do cardio such as Thrill of the Fight and your lenses will be perfectly clear, or you can drink something hot and while it might get foggy, 5 seconds later it will be clear again.
This is the fan: https://www.amazon.com/BOBOVR-F2-Circulation-Interface-Accumulation/dp/B099574TKJ
With the fan there is an excellent facial covering (the original Oculus one gets uncomfortable with use) that is necessary for the fan to work. Quite comfortable, so no need to get a separate one.
This is the head strap: Amazon.com
The head strap also has a version with an additional battery on the back. Useful, however I like using the Oculus for short, high focus working sessions. If I want to extend my session time, I connect a long cable to it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098T5PLDP
Usually I’m sitting so the cable doesn’t get in the way.
With the head strap, there are two “antennas” on the front that alleviate pressure, however they can get a bit uncomfortable - easy solution is to pull them away a bit by hand or add separate padding.
It’s important to play around with the head straps positioning, as you want to have even pressure all around - that is the most comfortable. Correctly positioned and it will feel like the headset is nearly floating.
Finally, for purposes of anything more active (such as using it for cardio, rather than just work), you want something for the controllers: Amazon.com
This will ensure your controllers don’t fly off. Yes, it can definitely happen if you get immersed into it enough, and the straps are quite comfortable. Solely for work however, not necessary. I prefer using hand gestures - it’s more seamless, and seamless means less distraction and more flow.
That would be pretty much the basics of being comfortable using an Oculus overall. You can add some earbuds/earphones (either specifically for the Oculus or your own), since the sound of the Oculus can leak.
You can also experiment with adding additional padding on the back of the head (the head strap padding easily comes off). Sometimes I take off the original one, rotate it and place it on the upper or lower edge, and add the additional padding right below/above it. Less space for the head but more area with pressure - meaning for some it’s more comfortable. I switch based on what I find more comfortable in the moment.
As for helping the eyes, yes, there is some emerging research on that topic. If you want to pursue that avenue, ensure that you take frequent breaks with the Oculus. This is because you might not notice it, but you don’t blink as much while using it, so your eyes get dry. Of course, do your own research on it first.

The thing of multiple virtual displays makes me think of “Minority Report” or “Johnny Mnemonic” with the hand gestures.

When you use the Oculus for work, what do you actually see? Do you see everything what’s on your monitor(like the whole desktop) or just a certain program you use for it ?
I can see how this helps with focus, have heard about people using their hoodie and cap to “blind” off the environment around them and just focus on their screen in front of them.
