Is there a secret launch parameter that will turn off the partial overlap in CV1?

I realize it wound give me a smaller FOV ..but I would prefer not to see the overlap. http://vrguy.blogspot.com/2013/05/what-is-binocular-overlap-and-why.html

I believe the overlap is a property of the hardware. I don't think changing this in software would work correct, and (even if you somehow did it) it'd likely be very uncomfortable. Plus, you'd lose stereo, which is a pretty big part of the experience.

I'm saying I only want stereo vision. I know the overlap is due to the lenses being angled slightly, but if I could code the outer edges to be black ..it would solve my issue of seeing image in one eye and black in the other. If no one knows of a way to do that, I wonder if modding the hmd lenses to be aimed straight at the displays would fix it ..or would the barrel distortion then be incorrect?

I'm not actually sure what you're trying to accomplish, but I don't think your problem is the overlap.

I'm not explaining well. What I'm talking about is when you look to your far left or right with only your eyes. 25% of your fov will be image in one eye and black in the other. Well, I have strange eyes and am able to see the overlap trick even when looking straight ahead on lighter virtual scenes. The link I posted above has a hmd at the bottom that has a custom lever that removes overlap.

so, on further investigation, this is due to me having deep set eyes and thus, being able to see more of the screen than normal people.
