FOV (Field of View)

Field of View (FOV) refers to the extent of the observable area visible through a device like a camera, VR headset, or telescope at any given moment. It is typically measured in degrees, describing how wide or narrow the view is. A wider FOV allows you to see a larger area without moving your head or device, enhancing immersion and situational awareness, especially in virtual reality or gaming. Conversely, a narrower FOV offers more detail but a smaller visible scene. FOV impacts the user experience by balancing breadth of vision with detail clarity.
