Virtual Reality Out of Your Monitor: Egocentric Projection

@JoeJ Yeah, for 3D games the fov is probably too small, except maybe if you are sitting really close in front of a large TV. So, when your game is not specifically tailored towards this feature, it is probably a bad experience. I could imagine that if you have a simple game, you could move everything “in front of” the monitor, so you do not use the...

Virtual Reality Out of Your Monitor: Egocentric Projection

There is ofc. one problem with matching fov. If you have a small display or sit some distance away from it, your in game fov angle becomes too small to play 3D games.So i wonder: Have you tried to increase the angle to see larger scenes? How does it feel?I guess it may just work. But i also did some VR on flat screen experiment. I have rendered two...
