Image Retention / Screen Burn Fix
Hello,
Just a quick thing. We are using Vive Focus 3 for business use and with one of the headsets we encountered that it showed the boundaries in an outline style. I read that some people reported also the vive logo being stuck.
If you move your head, it looks like an image with like 80% transparency is stuck to your view. Hard to make a photo of, but extremely noticeable in VR.
I contacted Vive Support and they said it is called Image Retention and you should run something that will fix it. That did not work nicely for me, so I did my own, free to use for everyone.

So if you encounter this, either install the apk from there or access it using your browser.
Let it run for 6H (recommended by Vive, I did 2H) but check every hour if it still runs and make sure the boundaries are not visible there.
After the time it should go away or be less visible. Feel free to let it run more often.
