I feel a bit sad, your sketches look way more awesome than the best thing i've ever drawn in my entire life :-( Even my technical sketches (im working as a engineer) look stupid compared to those simple sketches ... kudos! oh and thanks for the explenation about fov !

[baholete]

Ok increase fov to see more of the game world, be more zoomed out, but both the head and monitor location are in the same place, so you STILL have that area of the monitor that the cone of vision can't reach! In other words, it doesn't fixes anything, it just makes it that you see MORE of the world in your cone of vision then before.

Console devs use a small FOV for another reason and that is called saving performance. The smaller the FOV, the less the console has to draw of the game world!

you should show this infinity ward!

@Tsazao mw3 is ok on pc. I have seen far far worse, rage, crysis 2,the darkness 2.

Makes you wonder if the gamedevlopers are so dumb or they just dotn bother.

@tmealhouse Of course, but the way he explained it is flawed, It's not because you don't have the whole monitor in your cone of vision (as in the case of TV-console playing), it's because of being closer to the monitor the view the brain sees is too much zoomed in and causes discomfort for certain individuals. Increasing the FOV does not furthers the monitor from you to fit in your cone of vision, it gives you a feeling of more zoomed out. I hope you understood what i'm trying to say.

[tmealhouse]

@baholete From my understanding, it's not about confining the monitor to your cone of vision--it's about making ones peripheral vision comfortable. I think it fixes things in the sense that ones brain has additional in-game surroundings to process the scene, so it doesn't feel like s/he is playing with tunnel-vision. Since our brains are not used to processing things in this way, some people (myself included) begin to experience discomfort fairly quickly.

It's so amazing how he can take such a complex topic and break it down in a way that everyone can understand. And it still makes sense ! Wish all my teachers could do that effectively. Lol

@CaptainCarthex Mw3 has no fov settings.Another reason too call mw3 junk!

@cnl1213 having looked into FOV some more, I guess its not just the amount of space you see, but its also the distortion factor. Only a certain 60degree cone of vision feels comfortable to the normal human eye, the rest is peripheral vision. I think that's what Feng was getting at in the video. Awesome science+art demo!

[cnl1213]

I am not a hardcore gamer, but I am wondering if a wider cone of vision gives the player an advantage in the game? Actually obviously if your screen is bigger and things are clearer, you'll have an advantage in a FPS type game. Never mind, I think I just answered my own question. Good video on FOV. Thanks Feng.

@Cri354 It doesn't make everyone motion sick. And sometime it isn't so much motion sickness as just feeling like you're looking through a tunnel.
