Prespective Technology

[FrostyBoy]

I want to discuss the technical side of this.

Notice in 3d FPS's, the perspective is not realistic. What is actually causing this and how do we fix it on a monitor device (not vr headset).

Is it the size of the screen? Shape of the screen? Resolution? What? Or is it just not possible without goggles or some sort of virtual room?

Edit: I spelt perspective wrong. Used phone to create thread. I'm stuck in cervical cancer talk

I can't tell if this is a joke. Asher?

Having trouble comprehending again?

[DaShi]

Yes, you have a very odd way of describing things. From what it looks like, you are stating something very obvious and adding nothing of value to what is already known. Hence, is this a joke?

Also, it's hard to tell what will and will not offend you.

[DaShi]

Pretentious. Is that the word I'm looking for here? Or pertentious?

I don't think it's a joke; as a former professor on a visual arts faculty, I actually think it's a pretty interesting question, though I'm not tech-savvy enough to have an answer.

Of course, I can't think of any 2d image, in any medium, that has truly given me the illusion of 3d. Probably the closest, though, is Jacques-Louis David's painting "The Coronation of Napoleon." It's an enormous painting (roughly 20 feet high x 36 feet wide) and the Louvre has mounted it so that it's nearly flush with the ground, giving you the strong sense that you could step right into the scene. So maybe you're on to something with size of the screen.

The altar in this church in Torino is painted on the wall.

There's also a wood carved relief in a church in Firenze? Rome? Vatican? That uses perspective to make the flat ceiling look domed.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Interesting. Though in both those cases, I'd imagine the illusion is enhanced by distance from the image, which wouldn't really help with FPS design.

[DaShi]

Painting has long ago solved the problem of 3D illusion. In order to make something appear as realistic as that picture in a 3D digital and interactive environment, it would take a huge about of memory to store and process. A casual look at the evolution of video games over the last few decades answers this thread's question succinctly.

I the case I cited you have to see it from a certain angle.

Biggest problem for me with FPSs is peripheral vision, or rather lack thereof. That's not fixable without a full-immersion experience (ie, a room) or goggles (and even those limit your peripheral vision rather much, but at least you could turn your head).

Problem solved.

Unfortunately this works for one person only.
