Changing FOV on the Vive

[near_blind]

Is there currently anyway to zoom in or out, or otherwise change the FOV while using the Vive?

you cannot zoom in or out like you would do with the TrackIR.

I see. Is this a set VR thing, or has ED mentioned anything about changing this in the future?

You lean :) That is the point of VR :)

Touché :)

 

My concern isn't so much that I can't read things in the cockpit (as you pointed out leaning is quite an effective solution). It's more that currently I have a ~60 degree FOV using the Vive, and that makes maintaining visual contact with anything behind my 3/9 line exceedingly difficult, with it becoming more harder the closer they get to my six.

 

Perhaps I haven't configured something correctly?

Yeah, when I started using my DK2, I said to myself...damn, I need a real cockpit just so I can grab it and twist my body around to check six! This, after, my brain was telling my hands to reach out and grab the VR cockpit! LOL.
