😲 Wow! Amazing concept: A virtual camera lens where objects appear larger (!) the further they are from the lens!

🤯 mind blown:

What if we made a camera that sees in reverse?

The Apple Vision Pro

The Apple Vision Pro is a disappointment for productivity, in part because of choices made to deliver a remarkable entertainment experience. Plus, the future of AR/VR for Apple and Meta.

Starship Schrödinger's Destiny Aug 28, 2023

They thrust their space-ship again, and the earth rotates to reveal that the northern continent is burning.

Quite the key shot, I think I set it up well.

Then in the 360-degree VR render, the fires on planet-side are all invisible. What? How.? What.. That's impossible!

But turns out the 360-render is effectively a 180-degree field of vision fish-eye camera and the in-app headset view or the flat-screen render are more like 80 degrees field of view.

The planet is not planet-sized, even in the simulation. Otherwise it would have to be placed beyond the camera's clipping-distance.

But even so, the difference in the field of view is wide enough that apparently a different portion of the planet gets rendered onto the output bitmaps with the 360-render. They remained over the horizon.

Well damnit.

To hack through it I shrunk the planet 4% smaller in the 360-render while leaving the flames at full scale.

No time for anything more elegant in a bank-holiday-weekend project.
