Step 2Dissasembly and Rough Assembly
Disassembly:
You are going to have to disassemble all of the components down to the raw parts you need. In the case of the PMV, you need the screens and lenses. The headphones no longer need the over-head strap, just the speakers in their housings. I would also suggest pulling the camera out of its casing as it will most likely be a tight fit inside the goggles.
Tips for disassembling the PMV:
- Find the small seperations between pieces of the plastic housing and gently pry them
- Get an idea of where all the important bits are and use extra care around them
- The crystals have fully separate screens, but older models have a crossover cable (don't break it)
- I left the earbuds attached to begin with, but eventually will be removing them
Tips for disassembling the headphones:
- Most will just take some moderate prying and removal of some screws
- You only need the speakers and their housing, no headband.
- Be careful not to break the cable connecting the each ear together
Tips for disassembling the camera:
- Should only need to remove a few screws and it will pop apart
Rough Assembly
I would suggest laying out all the parts and getting an idea for where all the wiring is going to have to go. Most likely there will have to be somewhere that the wires get run through to the outside of the mask. I cut a hole in the seal on the right side of mine to pass all the wires through. It is also a good idea to make sure your camera will be able to point forward at a good angle, and the lenses need a place to sit in front of your eyes.
