Calculate the perfect convergence and depth values

[Mitbekommer]

So I own a HMZ-T1. Recently I played on an Oculus and what I immediately noticed is a proper depth setting. I noticed, if it was real, it would look like that.

Now I wonder, how to recreate this with 3DTV Play?

You have the convergence and general depth setting.

But can you actually calculate the perfect depth and convergence as a function of eye distance, so it is how it should be without being exaggerated or too minimalistic?

The separation is easy - measure your IPD, and in a 3D game, make a far away object have the same separation measured by a ruler.

Convergence is more difficult - monitors are tiny and sit far away from your face, so if you have "correct" convergence then it will come as a tiny window into the game world. In most cases, it is unworkable.

No, what you want is for the convergence to be at screen depth for most, if not every scene. This will also give games the toyification effect, also called the dollhouse effect; but the 3D will be the best - it is what most users use, or around thereabouts depending on personal taste.

VR sits on your face and has a comparably massive FOV, so it can afford to be 'real' as per design intention

3D Projectors with a 3-4 meters diagonal make for a real scale 3D as well. It's like a portal to another dimension.

I always just set depth to 100 percent, and then just set convergence to as extreme as possible without it being personally uncomfortable. as RAGE says it usually amounts to convergence being somewhat screen depth like say your character in a third person game sitting just out of screen for toyification. This is ultimately quite a personal thing I think so calculations arent necessary,
