Not compatible with new 16 inch displays #68

Open koholleran opened 2 months ago

koholleran commented 2 months ago

Hi there - I've only recently tried out the looking glass products and I had success using this with a portrait device but now with the newer 16 inch landscape displays there seems to be a new pixel mapping or format that causes the display to no longer work well (fuzzy out of focus with colours spreading out). Is there any interest or plan to include support for larger displays? Error message received is: vtkLookingGlassInterfac:407 WARN| vtkLookingGlassInterface (00000217D298A540): Unrecognized device type: '16_gen3_l', defaulting to setting for 'large' device.

Thanks!

@koholleran So, you can look at the various device types we have supported here.

If we need a new device type, I think we can just add one there. I'm not sure what the ideal quilt size, tiles, and aspect ratio are for new ones.

Note also that fuzzy out of focus can also be caused by the placement of the focal point, and you might need to adjust your camera. See this note, for example.
