Seems a bit extreme to just cater to a single user. That said, I do like the idea and I think the reactions available now are sufficient.
For anyone interested, here is the link to the podcast tonight that will have that youtuber talk about the crystal that they received (a CES model): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g_rvrH6Wzw
Will be about 2 hours after this message. I’ll be in bed so hopefully someone can timestamp the relevant part, otherwise I’ll do so in the morning.
Isn’t the index FOV 108? According to Risa2000 it is: HMD Geometry Database | Collected geometry data from some commercially available VR headsets.
That would make it more like a 5-8% difference which I could believe people not realising. That said, that’s assuming the 103 is maxed out, so perhaps it’s more significant like a 10% difference but I suppose that would still be missed with the huge sweetspot maybe convincing folks they are seeing otherwise.
