Is it possible to change FOV (field of view) while game is running on -emulatestereo (3d side-by-side) ?

I am running my game.exe with -emulatestereo command for my 3DTV.

It’s default FOV is too high.(not natural)

I had tried with normal FOV command (‘~’ + FOV value), but is not working with -emulatestereo.

Is there any way to play unreal game in 3DTV(side by side format) without oculus rift?

Enable SimpleHMD plugin (Window->Plugins), disable auto-HMD-following (if you need to) with:

PC->PlayerCameraManager->bFollowHmdOrientation = true;

Or in blueprints “Follow Hmd Orientation” set true;

Also for deploy (I believe) you need to add “SimpleHMD” to PrivateDependencyModuleNames in YourProject.Build.cs. Without this it’s working in editor, but non deploying on Android (for me).

PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "SimpleHMD" });

Unfortunately FOV is hardcoded in SimpleHMD.cpp in method GetStereoProjectionMatrix(). So we need to build own version of SimpleHMD. Just hope we don’t need to build whole Engine from sources.
