  2. Field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_view

    Angular field of view is typically specified in degrees, while linear field of view is a ratio of lengths. For example, binoculars with a 5.8 degree (angular) field of view might be advertised as having a (linear) field of view of 102 mm per meter. As long as the FOV is less than about 10 degrees or so, the following approximation formulas ...

  3. Eye relief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_relief

    The eye of an eyeglass wearer is typically further from the eyepiece, so that user needs a longer eye relief in order to still see the entire field of view. A simple practical test as to whether or not spectacles limit the field of view can be conducted by viewing first without spectacles and then again with them. Ideally there should be no ...

  4. Optimum HDTV viewing distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance

    In the opinion of THX, the location where the display is viewed at a 40-degree view angle provides the most "immersive cinematic experience", [26] all else being equal. For consumer application of their recommendations, THX recommends dividing the diagonal screen measurement by .84 to calculate the optimum viewing distance, for a 1080p ...

  5. Image sensor format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_sensor_format

    The image sensor format of a digital camera determines the angle of view of a particular lens when used with a particular sensor. Because the image sensors in many digital cameras are smaller than the 24 mm × 36 mm image area of full-frame 35 mm cameras, a lens of a given focal length gives a narrower field of view in such cameras.

  6. Viewing cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_cone

    The viewing cone refers to the effective viewing directions of an LCD display, as seen from the eye. This collection of angles resembles a cone. The concept has been introduced as an international standard ISO 13406-2, which defines it as the range of viewing directions that can safely be used for the intended task without "reduced visual performance".

  7. Angle of view (photography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_view_(photography)

    In 1916, Northey showed how to calculate the angle of view using ordinary carpenter's tools. [2] The angle that he labels as the angle of view is the half-angle or "the angle that a straight line would take from the extreme outside of the field of view to the center of the lens;" he notes that manufacturers of lenses use twice this angle.

  8. Useful field of view - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_field_of_view

    In human vision, the useful field of view (or UFOV) is the visual area from which information can be extracted without eye or head movements. [1] UFOV size generally decreases with age, [ 2 ] most likely due to decreases in visual processing speed, reduced perception, and increased susceptibility to distraction.
