Humans have 180 degrees FOV when looking directly in front and 270 degrees with eye rotation.
In [[VR]], there are two types of FOVs: [[#Display FOV|Display FOV]] or dFOV and [[#Camera FOV|Camera FOV]] or cFOV.


==Display FOV==
==Display FOV==
Display FOV or dFOV is the FOV of your [[HMD]].
While wide dFOV can increase [[immersion]] and induce [[presence]], it can cause [[simulator sickness]] in certain individuals.<ref>https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/intro-vr/latest/concepts/bp_app_simulator_sickness/</ref>


==Camera FOV==
==Camera FOV==
Camera FOV or cFOV is the FOV of the virtual environment rendered by the graphical engine.
