Quest 3 distortion issue?

Grasshopper

Not sure if how to best describe this, but I always have the issue on the Quest3 where if the actress is on the left or right of my center view, I have to close one of my eyes to see her clearly. Its almost like binocular effect or double vision. It's fine if she is directly in front of me. Is that normal, or is there a setting that can fix that?

Probably need to adjust my image/eye alignment settings

OpeningThng19 I’ve played with all of the ipd settings, doesn’t fix it.

This has happened with all of my headsets to some extend

I think what you are describing has to do with how VR scenes are shot (still camera) and you viewing them (head turns right and left) .. the solution for this is to have some compensation algorithm embedded to keep both eyes matching properly.. I only use DeoVR so i run into the same issue you are describing..

I'm not expert here but doesnt this simply have to do with the focus point of the camera? It's in focus in front of you and out of focus to the sides. Once you do look the sides, it's being recorded by a different cam and then it's in focus.

Grasshopper Most likely, this issue is related to the device itself and individual visual perception. From our side, we can recommend the following:
Adjust the lens spacing - https://www.meta.com/help/quest/427255709332571/
Adjust the IPD settings - https://www.meta.com/help/quest/261777072346131/

maybe try to adjust depth of facial interface as well, not just ipd... i assume you have issues with some "standard" distance scenes not with close-ups, right?

I agree with adjusting IPD settings and definitely experiment with facial interface. I use quest 3 without it using BoboVR S3 strap. That gives better FOV and helps adjusting lenses.

If I have to guess your eyes are too "sharp" and brains are just wired the way you notice these errors better. Same goes for me 🙁 That blessing is curse in VR world, because that is a "feature" of VR porn. Some studios and camera/lens combinations do it better than others.

I have always wondered why it is so hard to make proper projections? Why we use 180 FOV or even 220 videos if edges are distorted? Why we use 8K resolution if projection is only 80% perfect? Why to even bother filming group sex etc with multiple models left and right if you can properly focus only to the center?

If I would know anything about programming and had proper skills my first job would be to make the best projection possible.

Try downloading and play in Heresphere with autofocus on and see if that is your issue. It can be adjusted later for smooth compensation in the videos and I think it makes a great difference.

Different question about Quest 3,
Who knows how to use the full resolution for video?
The panel resolution is 2064x2208, but like all other Quests, it's a BS marketing line for 99% of users, because standalone render resolution is only 1680x1760 per eye. What resolution is DeoVR using when streaming videos? This 1680x1760? How can we view at full resolution? I've seen tutorials that all say how to increase the texture quality to make games look much better (while using more battery, heat etc as the tradeoffs), but what about video streaming resolution?

4557312 vs 2956800 pixels. Render resolution is under 2/3rds of the native panel resolution, but does that apply to video or just games and other apps?
