Assuming this means 160/200 degrees side-to-side, how large is the field of view from bottom to top? I imagine this is very dependent on the positioning of the brow, which is variable.

@egbenedict looking at this chart, it would seem that the average human vertical field of view ranges from 50 degrees above the origin to 80 degrees below the origin, resulting in about 130 degrees bottom to top. This lines up with the approximated 135 degrees estimate found in this publication: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263161973_Perceptual_Characteristics_of_Visualizations_for_Occluded_Objects_in_Handheld_Augmented_Reality

It certainly does't appear like the the binocular visual field is simply equivalent to the combination the two monocular visual fields stacked on top of each other. It also doesn't look like binocular visual field is symmetric. Is this just due to variance in data, or is there a bigger reason?
