To Keep the Potato FOV Label or not to Keep? That is the question

Field of view = “POTATO”.

While fun eventually you guys need to find a better name for it :grinning:
Maybe something along the lines of…
Large, Normal, Small, Tiny ?

I agree. It was something for CES mainly, as a demo for the common FOV among other headsets

Silly name for a smaller FoV that is supposed to represent gen1 headsets. Should really be changed imho.

As said, it was for CES to represent a “normal FOV” of todays g1 headset. I asked the engineers to add it, and it turned out to be around 110 FOV, that unintentionally still got bigger than Rift S, HP and Vive :slight_smile:

We will change it, as some people obviously dont get the potato joke anyway. But I still like it, and we should definitely not remove this FOV mode. After all, it could be useful for some, running Pimax on potato PCs.

I Don’t use it myself so not a big deal. One idea might be to let users Customize this name potato FoV.

A graphic showing an example of FoV change would be cool though. So one could see what there missing akin to the Wide screen shots they did va pan n scan.

Call it G2 FOV or G2

The idea is to demonstrate that Pimax do not fears others VR companies products

“Tiny” as @TrevorVR suggests should suffice… Doesn’t it say enough? :upside_down_face:
