360° FOV in video games

Most shooters post-Quake barely even support 120°, and forcing beyond that tends to cause really fucked distortion. This fix seems legit, but outside of a few people who REALLY want FOVs above 120° it's not going to catch on unless there's some indie first-person game that focuses on using the FOV for puzzles or something.

Boba Fett canonically had 360° cameras in his helmet, and I wouldn't be surprised if Batman and Iron Man have used similar technology. It would be totally worthwhile for a major company to use this idea in adapting one of those IPs in a big-budget game.

"Hey boss these fictional characters might do this thing. Let's spend all the money figuring out how and why. We might be able to use it in a video game."

>Hey, Boss, there are all these hardcore nerds angry at how the old Star Wars canon erased their childhoods. We can use a cheap gimmick to bring back something from the old canon's depiction of Boba Fett and assuage their anger.
