Tips:

Field of View (FOV) - Field of view is exactly what it sounds like; the extent of vision of the human eye (or what you can see while in VR). A VR headset with low FOV will result in removal from immersion, while a VR headset with high FOV will let you sink comfortably into whatever you're viewing.

FOV of Humans - Humans have a forward-facing field of view of about 180 degrees — great for wilderness survival and VR gaming!
