It ' s not intentional , it is the limitation of the optics . They would blur it in software if they wanted it to be intentional . I ' ve used these style of headsets for first person view RC craft for awhile and unless you limit your field of view to be less than about 40 degrees , you will get blurring on the edges . It is also crucial to have an ipd adjustment , which the Daydream does not have , so a lot of people are going to have extremely bad issues with blurriness since ipd varies greatly between each person . I did luck out and at least that part is perfect for me , but the glasses have to sit high above my nose to be sharp and it lets a ton of light in and is not comfortable as all the weight has to be held up by the strap .
