    Hey ,I'm working on a ArchViz scene building a house following perfect scale.
    When I walk around in Unity everything seems much smaller than in reality.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Like @macdude2 said, in camera, change field of view somewhere around 90

    Hey , Thanks @macdude2 and @chelnok , but I played with FOV and still feels very off.
    at 90 the view is way off and has a warp effect , the closest I got was setting FOV to 60 but still the scene feels much smaller than what it is in real life.
    should I try scaling the asset? does anyone know anything else I can try?
    Thanks

    I believe it's because of how projection works for real-time 3D graphics. The screen is a flat rectangle, which isn't how your eyes work. A good camera setup can be a pretty good approximation assuming you're looking at the screen with your head in about the right spot. That's usually more than good enough. If you need anything better than that then you'll need something like an Occulus - a stereoscopic head-mounted display with visuals appropriately distorted to correct for the projection inaccuracies.

    Try adjusting the height of the camera from the ground. I've found that makes a huge difference.
