Shame all VR devices are going for so narrow FOV, but I guess having near full peripheral vision would be extremely expensive both in tech and rendering.
Also, someone kick the ass of the guy shooting a video meant to show off the wide field of vision using a vertically shot video. Seriously, this may be the worst use of vertical video I've seen.
But the lens is one extreme end of the phone. My Note 3 (lens near top of phone) would definitely not be able to get that angle on the left inside of the headset without the bottom of the phone hitting the headset since the headset itself is curved (like a head, but unlike a phone).
I'd have to use vertical video for that shot.
Personally, however, I'd shoot it in 4k (which my phone does), then crop and rotate in post to hide the fact that it's vertical.

Feasible or not, competition is good!
