Re: https://youtube/watch?v=_FoPFzoM1HA FYI, optimum stereoscopic hFOV (or what I call the center of the stereoscopic universe as far as hFOV is concerned) is 33.3 degrees, but dont have a heart attack over that number -- there is an acceptable range where most people wont see a difference, and thank God hFOV is much more forgiving than NetD (stereoscopic net deviation, i.e., total measurable depth), so Ive never exactly identified the range, and its probably impossible to do that. Also, Ive already been crucified upside down a few times over trying to identify exact numbers, which is not fun, trust me. Shall we say something like 30 to 40 deg hFOV, or maybe we can get away with 28 to 50 deg? Its usually very easy to identify when youve gone too wide, since more degrees simply adds barrel distortion -- its just that you dont start actually noticing it until you get up somewhere around the 50 deg hFOV mark. Going long (below 30 degrees or so) is a whole nuther barrel of wormy monkeys, so since we are talking about wide angle lenses, lets save that one for a snowy day in hell. Basically going long starts adding the probability of introducing cardboarding. :/ Are you still with me? In laymans terms, what this all basically means is if you keep shooting with your wide angle lenses, you are going to have to add a disclaimer like Only for the Oculus Rift DK2 or some kind of kindergarten noisy crap like that. :( :( :( As the old folks used to say, Get an education! ;)
