What does Field Of View really mean?

Alright, so "field of view" is a term we use to describe how much you can see in front of you at any given time. It's kind of like the area that you can see when you look straight ahead. Imagine you're standing in the middle of a really big field and you can see all the way to the edges of the field. That's your "field of view" - it's the area that's within your line of sight.

In simpler terms, when we talk about field of view, we're talking about how much of the world around us we can see without moving our eyes or our head. So if you're looking straight ahead, everything you can see without turning your head or eyes is your field of view.

Now, there are a few different ways we can measure field of view. There's horizontal field of view, which is how much you can see from left to right. Then there's vertical field of view, which is how much you can see from top to bottom. And finally, there's diagonal field of view, which is how much you can see on a diagonal line from the top left to the bottom right, or from the top right to the bottom left.

So, when we talk about field of view, we're really just talking about how much we can see without moving our eyes or our head, and there are different ways to measure it depending on which direction we're looking in. Does that make sense?
