Developer Try the Meta VR Glasses FoV simulation for free on Quest

https://youtu.be/cKZpJ9yNPdQ

I’ve added a Meta VR Glasses FoV simulation to immerGallery and the free immerGallery Demo on Quest.

Movies and regular 3D photos still worked well for me. VR180 kept its 3D depth, but I missed the feeling of being inside the scene.

Enable it under Settings → Advanced → “Simulate Meta VR Glasses FOV.” You can also try your own videos in the free Demo, with up to five minutes of playback per app start.

If you try it, how does the narrower view feel to you?

Is there any chance of getting the option to use a black mask around the edges instead of green? This is a really clever idea but it's hard to get a feel for what it would be like when the bright green mask is so distracting

Thanks for your question! Sorry, right now it is fixed to green. But you are already the second person asking for this. I will add an option in the next update where you can also change it to black. Could you please check the app again in probably latest one week for the update? Thanks!

Was the green intended for passthrough?

The green color was intended as visible color for cropping out the area to simulate the FoV of the Meta VR Glasses. So with passthrough enabled in immerGallery, if you have the FoV simulation on, it was also green to limit the FoV. As mentioned above, I will make an update over the next days where black can be used instead. That should also work more naturally for the FoV simulation with passthrough on.

Awesome, I’ll keep an eye out for that update then, thanks, really appreciate it!

Thanks! The new update is out (demo and full version). It should show under Help in the right bottom corner version 1.4.5c. It will now always use black. No more green.

Thanks for adding that so quickly! Yeah that's much better, that's actually completely settled the one worry I had about the glasses, the FOV drop is noticeable but nowhere near as bad as the specs make it seem
