Oculus SDK change camera fov in Unity
Hello to all fellow developers.
My question is specif to to Unity and Oculus SDK which has a fixed FOV when the VR Headset gets connected.
Oculus Documentation Link on Camera FOV and Scale
https://developer.oculus.com/design/latest/concepts/bp_app_fov_scale/
I have tried everything to check if we can change the FOV which gets to 96.17 to camera, if you use camera-rig component or not. any camera inside scene will convert automatically to 96. I want to change the FOV at run time, if not possible i want to use another secondary camera for the task
We have a scene where we are showing car interiors and its looking too bad when FOV is 96. The immersive- feeling of being in a car is gone. We want to control the camera FOV at run time.
The things i have tried so far.
1> changing via code gives error "field of view cannot be changed". and goes back to 96.
2. Secondary camera for that specific activity
3> stereo convergence post render scripts.
Is there any solution to this.
Please do give your inputs.

- I've had the same problem with modifying the fov, but for use with a binocular view. However, I noticed in the release notes for 2017.2b2 , that Unity has added a new property XRDevice.fovZoomFactor. I did a quick test of this property and it seems to allow you to change the fov now. It would be nice however if this feature could be back-ported to a more stable version of Unity as I assume it will be a while before 2017.2 will be usable for production.
