tommytank Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 So I'm thinking of taking the plunge with VR, but struggling with some of the jargon! First there was "Screen door", now there's "god rays", no idea what these mean!
metalnwood Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Screen door is the effect when you can see the individual pixels or rows of pixels on the screen. Not sure if you have had much to do with projectors but earlier on it is something that you might have seen on some projectors where you could see the individual pixels when close. For the dev kits it was there, I am still a few weeks from getting the CV1 so I cant say first hand but you will have read a lot of people say it is much improved that it is not really an issue any longer. The god rays appears to be an artefact caused by the hybrid lenses they are using. In high contrast scenes where something bright could be on a dark background you will get an image like this one http://doc-ok.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/CrepuscularRays.jpg This image was put together to demonstrate the effect but they note it doesnt represent the intensity, just a demonstration of the effect. 1
