  3. There is no direct relationship between VR resolution and field of view

  4. A higher resolution can improve the visual quality within a given field of view


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

There is no direct relationship between VR resolution and field of view. However, a higher resolution can improve the visual quality within a given field of view by providing more pixels to represent the virtual environment. This results in a sharper and more detailed image, enhancing the overall visual experience.

How does a wider field of view impact the sense of presence in VR?

  1. It reduces the sense of presence by making the virtual environment feel more distant

  2. It enhances the sense of presence by providing a more immersive and realistic experience

  3. It has no significant impact on the sense of presence

  4. It causes discomfort and eye strain, reducing the sense of presence


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A wider field of view in VR enhances the sense of presence by providing a more immersive and realistic experience. By allowing users to see a larger portion of the virtual environment, a wider FOV creates a stronger connection between the user and the virtual world, making it feel more real and engaging.

Which of the following is NOT a potential drawback of a high VR resolution?

  1. Increased visual fidelity and detail

  2. Higher processing requirements and computational cost

  3. Reduced latency and improved responsiveness

  4. Enhanced comfort and reduced eye strain
