      Very interesting.

      Great video, this is one the things I’ve always understood, but often don’t really bother to try and explain to other people because I’ve never really known how to correctly. Thanks for the share.

        FOV is something most big budget studios always seem to miss. It does not matter if the game allows for widescreen resolutions, if the FOV is not correct, it does not matter in the end.

      I’m not sure it would be possible for those videos to make the explanation any more overly complicated. Its as if they’re deliberately over complicating something which is very simple just so it seems like they can teach you about these things.

        I would have to disagree. I thought the instructor did an excellent job of explaining the subject matter.

      Thanks for the detailed reply. I would not have thought about is the shape of the human eye. I do remember those shot from Quake. I friend of mine used the larger FOV and only after a short time, I started to get sick.
