I almost always play on large fov the only time i go to normal is when im playing a real, demanding game and i have to save performance. Asgards Rath keeps crashing on me about every 15 to 30 min. So i keep lowering the res and fov. I have made it down to small fov and i must say it is vastly larger even on small than any other headset ive ever tried. Pimax should really change the names of there fovs. There is nothing small about the small fov!!

Or they could just call them:
- 120°
- 140°
- 160°

The problem with that is most people dont know what that means. Also Valve is claiming close to 130 fov and Pimax on small is considerably larger than valve.

Valve’s is 130 Diagonal.
But with OpenSourcing of Pitool the menu could say what you want😏

Might as well add adjustable distortion profiles while we’re at it. That way those complaining that it distorts have something to tinker with. I myself don’t have a distortion problem only not sharp while looking off center.

Valve actually does not claim 130°, neither horizontal nor diagonal. They only said (and I made sure to check it) that it is up to 20° more than what regular Vive user can see. It was turned into 130 degrees by the public interpretation.
The actual values are on par with OG Vive (HMD Geometry Database | Collected geometry data from some commercially available VR headsets.).

Thats kinda my point though. People in general dont understand fov degrees and can just slap a number on there. If you read back through the thread we have people calling Pimax small fov 120 and the general public calling Index 130. That is quite deceiving. If a new headst came out tomorrow with the same fov as Pimax small people would be going crazy for it.

All the more reason to at long last nail things down and have people learn to understand the numbers. Somebody has to take the first step. 120, 140, 160 it is.

Yep like a simple Graphic showing Vertical & Horizontal. Much like how they used to do showing difference of Pan & Scan/Widescreen.
