Calculating the Infinite Focal Plane ("skydome")
Forgive me if this has already been solved, but I spent quite a bit of time trying to hunt down information, and ended up running some tests of my own (sans my Rift Devkit as yet). While I'm sure they're not entirely accurate without the hardware to validate my findings, I wanted to share my results and have them reviewed by the community.
I believe the tests are conceptually sound, but feel free to point out any errors I've made.

The short of it:
Sources used for the calculations are listed on my blog.

The short of it:
- IRL infinite focal plane == ~745m
- Rift devkit resolution infinite focal plane == ~250m - 300m

- Light that comes from further away than 6 meter is called infinite light...when you look at objects over 6 meters your eyes will be fully relaxed and you will have no accomodation if you are fully corrected or have a 0.00Ds vision...when you look at lets say 20cm as you do with oculus rift The eyes must accomodate for maybe 6 dioptries, this is neutralised by adding lences
