Okay - here's my stab at it. I think I hit a lot of the points.
1) Yes.
2) Yes. You'll notice objects to the edge blur (double) but in the center are clear.
3) Maybe. I think I would get sick after a while.
4) Edge effects are noticeable, but can be toned down. First try is exadurated to emphasize techinique used.
5) No. But that's an add in for later.
Angle is 130 & 132. Honestly, much more than that and I'd get sick. Besides, human eyes (I am pretty sure) don't do 180, and neither does the camera in DBPro (I tried it). I'm guessing 120 to 145 is probably realistic?
The nice thing about human eyes is that the outsides don't get duplicated by the other eye. This means the center is binocular vision, while the exterior vision is monocular (backwards from my code
). I think this keeps the fishbowl effect from happening. Unfortunately, the monitor can't do binocular vision, so the fishbowl effect happens since you are looking at it with "one eye". In other words, each eye has about a 90 degree angle to it, which is why 90 looks nice and not fishbowlish.
