Field of view = “POTATO”.
Ok Pimax, you just won my pre-order
That was my and Kevins idea
While fun eventually you guys need to find a better name for it
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
Potato ?? WTF LOL, nice Pimax
Silly name for a smaller FoV that is supposed to represent gen1 headsets. Should really be changed imho.
I’ve have never used the Potato in the maintime iIs this Potato G1 or Potato G2?
I ask for 1 friend…
Large
Normal
Small
Other HMD Emulation Mode
Oh I like that! Very cheeky.
Maybe just “Tiny”?
Or cyclops fov …
Toilet rolls FOV…
Keyhole FOV …
Please don’t change it, it’s my favourite thing.
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
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?
It would be best not to call it a as another Brand’s name.
