rectilinear #3D rendering always takes a guess where your screen is, relative to your eye.
i say, "eye," because rectilinear rendering assumes you only have one.
so if you have one eye, and know where it is supposed to be (usually right in the middle, but distance to screen is a shot in the dark) and you keep it right there relative to your screen, rectilinear rendering won't create distortion.
problem is, you don't.
and for smaller screens, or distant screens, the field of view they can present without (much) distortion gets really narrow: just the part of your own field of view that the screen occupies.

if a developer considers the (real world) environment well, they may be able to make a good guess that would produce a render that looks like a window into that virtual world. but they probably don't even think about it.

Silicon Graphics defined high-performance computing for visual effects and 3D graphics in the 90s. Their workstations powered CGI in Jurassic Park and Terminator 2, and they helped pioneer OpenGL, still a standard in graphics today.
Now barely a memory, only its website survives; 1 in a Trillion on the #WaybackMachine ⤵️

Desperate help sought;
Would anyone out there who works with 3D display design be willing to put together a rectangular gallery space walk through for me at all please?
I am preparing an Arts Council England funding application and need to update my currently flat gallery display details before submitting in late September. I don't have any experience with 3D. Any help is immensely appreciated.
Thank you.
