Nice! I wanted to do this sort of thing when I was playing around with 3D game programming in the late 90s / early 2000s, to capture how a wider FOV looks in movies. Alas, computers were too slow and I was too inexperienced anyway.
HYPER DEMON may be the best known and most extreme exception, it renders 180 degrees in front of you, then renders 180 degrees behind you as a red-tinted overlay, giving full 360 degree awareness if you can wrap your brain around it.
I would love for us to move past the idea that non-pinhole projections have "distortion", and we should strive to remove this "distortion" by reprojecting stuff to pinhole models. In practice, ALL projections distort straight lines and/or shapes and/or sizes, so if you use the pinhole projection everywhere, your images look like crap (see iphone wide-lens camera output for instance). Most of the normal non-pinhole projection functions work fine for wide lenses, while behaving like a pinhole lens with long lenses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens#Mapping_function
There is also FOVO Dynamic Projection which claims projection like human vision. They have videos showing the projection in action in games https://www.fovotec.com/gaming
Weird that UE also implements this as purely postprocessing filter. Surely there is more efficient way to render directly using panini projection, or at least something closer to it? Could you do it in vertex shader or something
there is a long standing problem in Team Fortress 2 where the default FOV is 75, as it was on the console ports of the Orange Box, and it's believed to turn off a lot of new players and enrage regulars because they just don't see things in the periphery that everyone else playing at the maximum FOV of 90 does.
Part of the reason why I don't play many, if at all, modern FPS. Claustrophobic, disorienting, small FOV are something I cannot get used to.
