Snap's 51-degree display is what the company likens to a 24-inch monitor up close for work, or a 115-inch cinema screen from about ten feet away for movies.
Snap's glasses use a liquid-crystal-on-silicon display, basically a tiny projector built into the lens, with a 51-degree field of view. To put that in human terms, Snap says it's the perceptual equivalent of sitting in front of a 115-inch cinema screen. That's a wide window for a pair of glasses you'd actually wear on your face.
