Comment on Anon fixes their games
DaddleDew@lemmy.world 3 days agoWhen it’s on, whatever the playable character looks at will be in focus and everything else that is at different distances will be blurry, as it would be the case in real life if your eyes were the playable character’s eyes. The problem is that the player’s eyes are NOT the playable character’s eyes. They can look around on the screen without moving the character. But the player can’t see shit because everything is blurry.

It’s like motion blur. Your eyes already do that, you don’t need it to be simulated…

For depth of field, our eyes don’t automatically do that for a rendered image. It’s a 2d image when we look at it and all pixels are the same distance and all are in focus at the same time. It’s the effect you get when you look at something in the distance and put your finger near your eye; it’s blurry (unless you focus on it, in which case the distant objects become blurry).
Even VR doesn’t get it automatically.
It can feel unnatural because we normally control it unconsciously (or consciously if we want to and know how to control those eye muscles at will).

No, your eyes can’t do it on a screen. The effect is physically caused by the different distances of two objects, but the screen is always the same distance from you.

You don’t know what focusing on things is?
Zozano@aussie.zone 3 days ago
Yes, but you still get the blurry effect outside of the spot on the screen you’re focused on.
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Not in the same way. Our eyes have lower resolution away from the center, but that’s not what’s causing DoF effects. You’re still missing the actual DoF.

to be fair you need it for 24fps movies. however, on 144Hz monitors it’s entirely pointless indeed

My Dad showed me the Avatar game on PS4. The default settings have EXTREME motion blur, just by turning the camera; the world becomes a mess of indecipherable colors, it’s sickening.
Turning it off changed the game completely.
