Pimax 8k has 200°: https://pimax.com/product/vision-8k-x/ https://pimax.com/product/vision-8k-x/
Valve Index is 130°, which is right at the line of becoming acceptable and achieving presence. I seriously can't believe Apple released this thing with functionally no difference to the $500 Quest 3 beyond higher screen quality.
- crazygringo 3y agoThe 200° advertised is a "diagonal" FOV: https://pimax.com/pimax-headsets-fov/ https://pimax.com/pimax-headsets-fov/ The horizontal FOV is only 159°: https://vr-compare.com/headset/pimaxvision8kx https://vr-compare.com/headset/pimaxvision8kx And it's only 103° FOV vertically. (For comparison, the Quest 2 is 93° vertical.) But I'm very happy to know 159° horizontal is possible. From more research online, it seems that the wider the FOV, the more distortion you get, so there's a tradeoff? Also it seems very clear that Apple prioritized resolution (sharpness) over FOV. For a given display panel, the more you spread it out, the blurrier it gets.
