Does the Oculus Rift use something else than perspective (i.e. standard
OpenGL) projection?
There is likely no need for parallax support (differences in Left/Right
eye based on object distance, which is "infinite" in our case - you would
not perceive perspective parallax even for cases like "Ganymed transit
over the Great Red Spot" or such, in nature), so does feeding the same
image in perspective projection into both eyes, with some fixed fov
("natural" eyes have no magnification either ;-), not suffice?G.
