At the moment, I am debating whether to require viewers to wear a specific hat in order to track the angle at which their head is turned, which would dictate how the video is manipulated in order to appear straight on to the viewer. This would provide a more immersive experience, as the illusion would not be broken by a simple turn of the head. However, it does break the naturalness of the viewer’s interaction with the environment by forcing viewers to wear something they normally wouldn’t. I have yet to make a decision on which loss is more substantial, and I think, now that my calculations have become more defined, that it will not be a big difference in effort to change the program to account for the angle of the viewer’s head. Therefore, it is probably best to leave the decision to later, after I have tried the simpler version that doesn’t account for it. Only by walking through myself do I feel I can make the most informed decision.
(Yet, I’d be interested in what other people think about which would be more satisfying and would best maintain the illusion, so comments are appreciated.)
