Image zoom setting

[inn1950]

I use full VR mode, and set doom 3 game image zoom value 0.65, so it looks like 16:9 screen

But on lower side screen have black area

Can someone tell me how to erase this?

When you lower the image zoom setting, you get black bars above and below the image. That’s how the zoom works. Alternatively you can instead set an ambience colored background after clicking on ‘More FullVR settings’ in the menu if you prefer that.

The black area below the image is a bit larger than above since VR headsets use an asymmetric view frustum where more pixels are shown below the eye than above to have more precious pixels where it counts. A neat optimization that factors in human vision, which focuses more on things below your eyes than above in the sky. Since the the game was rendered with its usual symmectric frustum, you end up with more space below than above the image when you zoom out.

@inn1950 : If you want to avoid the black area while displaying the entire view, don’t use a 16:9 resolution if your VR headset isn’t 16:9. Usually 4:3 is better (it depends on the VR headsset).
You can choose a very high 4:3 (2880×2160 minimum for full VR) or “1:1” resolution with the Virtual Monitor (Vorpx Desktop Viewer).
OF course the game must allow this resolution but it’s usually not a problem.
