[@ashishjain871]

You are a gift to the world.

Why did you cut the left and right side of the cube while using cone of vision?

[@lucada32]

very comprehensive, thank you

[@adekrisdiantoro8860]

Very useful, thx man

[@dicloniusN35]

why 60 degrees? why not 90, 70 ?

[@SquidkidMega]

because 60 is the widest cone of vision we can have without too much perspective distortion....I don't know who set 60 as the limit, that probably goes way back to the renaissance

[@bydefinition7964]

@Vivek Aakash that's right, yet you can only see *in focus* 60 degrees. The rest is blurry and distorted-- you don't see the distortion because it's blurry and because you're focusing on something else!!

[@bydefinition7964]

However You can check the distortion just by looking at the mirror and get extremely close, that way your whole face will be in focus, and you will see the distortion.
Try it with making one eye very close to the mirror.

@@SquidkidMega it's the approximate field of view between our two eyes that we can actually see. Everything else is peripheral vision that becomes highly distorted like getting close with an ultra wide lens. It's based on our biology.

But we can only see clearly in foveal vision which is just 2 degrees right. Then how come entire 60 degrees can be seen clearly
