With that big of a field of view, and that low of a resolution, I don't think you'd be happy with reading text. But I'm just guessing.
- vanderZwan 5y agoThat only applies to projection cone + pixels on the glasses. It's not how it necessarily translates to "effective" resolution on the wall when moving your head. I mean, I don't typically read with the corner of my eye. The eye saccades are relatively central.
- mdp2021 5y ago1280x720 AR eyeset can be good to excellent for reading text (I do it often). But, the comfort is around a dozen lines (or less) per screen...
- VikingCoder 5y agoI suspect you are used to those 1280x720 being applied to a far, far smaller field of view. 110 degrees is remarkably wide.
- mdp2021 5y agoAbsolutely. The device is an Epson Moverio. I see through a quick search that the FoV should be 23°. And mind you, in some conditions the characters at the borders can lose focus or gain artefacts. The display could sure gain from extra lines (a resolution of 1280x960, instead of 1280x720, could be optimal to my estimation) without causing visual issues, but potential visual issues with the left and right extremes are already evident.
