Do you have a source for that? Their website says it has a FOV of 35° x 20°.


sort by: page size:

I wonder what the FOV is? Assuming not great as it wasn't mentioned at all.

This one is available too, with 90° FOV: https://www.metavision.com

Also note the 53-degree FOV they quote is for the diagonal angle! In all their press releases they're comically cagey about giving actual resolution and angle info for the display, which makes me distrust them.

Anyone have any idea of what the FOV will be?

It looks more like the fov is 0.1 by 2 km (in this particular video).

Way more. They say it has a 95 degrees vertical FOV and 360 degrees FOV. The vertical FOV is awesome actually.

A Velodyne VLP-16 has roughly 30 degrees FOV. We need the vertical and horizontal angular resolution to make any real judgements though.


What’s the FOV?

Doesn't it have a 100-degree FOV?

> Brilliant Labs claim an incredibly wide-range of FOV

The website says ~20 degree diagonal FOV, isn't that really low? I thought XReal/Viture/etc had around 40 FOV.


What is the FOV?

No FOV was included in the announcement. These numbers are fabricated.

I don't know the exact FOV specs but it's definitely wide enough to achieve the average movie theater experience, even an IMAX-like experience.

Sorry, I made a mistake, I accidentally typed FOV, when I meant IPD. The IPD they clame for this product has a range of 58-72mm, which is very wide when comparing the competition. They made no claim of FOV, from what I've seen, for the glasses, ~20 degrees was for the Monocle.

Aryzon - 110° FOV.

Akonia/Apple: 60° FOV (targeted)

Hololens: 35° FOV (currently)

Magic Leap: 40° FOV horizontal / 30° vertical (currently)


Human horizontal FOV is about 210 degrees on average. 140 does not seem like overkill.

If the FoV is less then it drives home that the pixel per degree is even higher!

This is a closed face VR headset with presumably more traditional screens and lenses and unlike a Hololens or MagicLeap. The device sounds closer to VR headsets like the Vive and Quest, which are mostly around 90-110 degrees.


exactly. I see it as well in multiple other spots as well. eg: 1. 05 49 04.008 +01 09 47.27 FoV: 1.3° X 2.2° 2. 05 44 35.074 +01 52 52.36 FoV: 3.4° X 5.9° 3. 06 37 17.795 -47 18 20.97 FoV: 1.4° X 2.4°

many more that i didnt list.


Lumus has 70 degrees FOV, but due to yield difficulties in manufacturing. They haven't made anything significant for production so far.

But this is basically the future. It is like early stages of the mobile cameras. Specs are not enough to match expectations. But core concept is solid.
