Human Field of Vision

[KidViciou$]

what is the angle at which we see things?

 

[Anubis]

its colse to 270 degrees horz and 100 vert i think

 

[funkymatt]

umm... since you can turn your head and body i would say 360 degrees.

what exactly are you looking for?

if you're talking about camera lenses... a 40mm lens is about what the human eye sees.

270??? I think not. 180 or so maybe.

its over 200, your preferial vision can see things that are slightly behind you,

Thats not field of vision.

He means if you keep your eyes in one place..how wide is what you see, It would be measured in degrees.

its definitely more than 180. 200+ sounds about right.

no way dude... without moving your head, put a yard stick across your nose. you could not see both ends simultaneously. and that would be 180

270 is a 3/4 circle... the geometry just doesn't work out at all.

because you are inside the focus limit of the human eye

You can't see things that are 1/2 yard away?

 

[silverpig]

95% of the links I find say humans have a 180 degree FOV with a 140 degree binocular FOV.

no the yard stick being an inch away from you nose
i can put a pencil right on my nose and i cant see teh ends of it, its too close to your face

and we tested this in optics class, and measured it for each person in the class, everyone was different but everyone was over 200,

ill grant you that you might not focus on more then 180 but you sure can see it

you can't see both ends of the pencil because you dont have 180 degrees of peripheral vision

The ENDS of the yard stick are each 1/2 yd (minus a little bit) away from your eyes. You should be able to see them if you have a 180 degree fov.

I'm sitting here in my chair facing straight, parallel with the wall next to me, and if I strain my eyes to look to the extreme left or right (without moving my head)... this is what I get (approximately). Although it gives me a headache to put that kind of strain on my optic muscles. Regular peripheral vision (eyes straight forward) seems to be 180°.

 

[funkymatt]

are you moving your eyes though? and how did you come up with that diagram?

Yes I'm moving my eyes, that's why I said it was painful to maintain. I came up with it by noting the farthest spot back on the wall next to me that I could see. Then I noted the position of that spot to my head, and created the diagram by "eyeballing" it. Hehehe.

Also interesting to note, that when you throw neck rotation into the mix, I have a full 360° view (without body movement).

the point of this is to see how much we can see without moving our eyes. the FOV is how wide your viewing angle is at all times, but not including movement.

i agree with you though that we can see more than 180. i can see the dvds over on the wall that are 2 feet behind my chair and about 7 feet over on the wall. that is about 15 degrees below the neg x axis (its on my left, im defining positive x as my right side)

 

[KidViciou$]

correct, without moving our eyes or head, i want to know what is the angle at which we can see objects. i'm asking because i'm rendering a scene, and wanted to try the human field of vision, as opoosed ot hte default of 90 degree (i think that's the default)

more like 50 to 55
