Scale in VR is smaller than real world, why?
Just curious, but my Quest controllers in VR are smaller than real life. Is there a reason? Maybe because of the fov?
So I spoke with Pärtel, creator of Final IK, and here is what he said regarding the video above:
"Yeah, all the crates were mapped exactly to their real positions and scale, you could slide your hand along the edge of a crate and feel it exactly where you saw it in VR.
The scale issue is probably just the optics making close objects look small. I mean if you enabled Passthrough mode, you will see your own hands pretty tiny too. So it is basically just a lens effect like looking through the bottom of a bottle.
It's not just Quest, I've noticed things looking smaller on Rift S compared to Rift CV1 too."
So maybe it's just the nature of VR how and the lenses.
