Also don't forget that our eyes are… you know… next to each other. Rather than stacked vertically. The aspect ratio for the average binocular human is almost 2:1 (vertical FOV is around 100°, while horizontal is up to 190°).

- mdp2021 4y agoYes, but for visually analytical practice - what I do in front of a monitor - I find a more squarish than stripey proportion much better. I am not enjoying a panorama.
- amelius 4y agoIs that 190° the range for both eyes simultaneously?
- isametry 4y agoActually good point, looking at that article again, 190° is edge-to-edge — i.e. also including single-eye areas. True binocular FOV is 120° horizontal, which makes it close to a square actually. It’s not like that remaining 70° is completely useless for monitor viewing, you will still peripherally notice any major display changes in that area, and should you need to turn your head, the partial view makes it easier to quickly find and lock onto the new target.
