I was home for thanksgiving and with 5 family members and 3 generations all trying it out and it didn't fit anyone. You either had the red forehead damage or forehead and nose. No-one was able to do anything for more than 15mins of demoing. Like ok this is fun but get this thing off my head.

Rotfl......I'm noticing that the Rift with SS maxed is nearly as good as the O+ for visuals...other than the SDE...which disappears immediately on the Rift after getting use to it. I installed Revive and ran a couple of Oculus games on the O+ and while it was awesome...it didn't have the same wow factor as when I first got the Rift. I think Oculus wants to bring the 'wow' factor again when they release the next PC-HMD...maybe that's why it's taking a bit longer!!! A small increase in resolution isn't enough for that to happen imo. Mind you I'll take it if they provide it!!!

Yea, if you push the rift to its limits, the difference isn't big for me. The only wow factor of the odyssey is having more color, clear graphics at short range, and being able to watch movies without SDE annoyances/god rays. Because of the blur, the resolution difference is pretty minor. I've compared how far I can see in games and read text and it's almost insignificantly farther in the O+. And as we've already beat to death, several games have problems in the O+ that the rift doesn't have.
ASW is an advantage for the Rift right now since you can supersample a higher percentage. I think WMR will get steam's new Motion Smoothing tech eventually which will even that gap some but I haven't really noticed much difference when I supersample 140 or 180 other than the FPS dropping. I still need to do an extreme test and see how graphics look with like 300% supersample to see if it's even worth messing with.
Also this is a great post on it.

I know it's subjective, but last evening I tried to make a fun experiment with the Rift ss 1.6 (Seeking Dawn) to 2.0 (other games) just trying to get an idea of perceived depth. I really don't have a problem with depth perception using the Rift - I feel I can see at least 50 meters away - probably even more in for example Evasion - without feeling that distant objects appear blurry. But of course the SDE does have it's impact and becomes a large part of small distant objects. In short, as long as high levels of ss is possible on the Rift, I really don't have any issues with depth perception.
Also perceived sharpness and perceived depth are two different things - I guess it's fair to assume that O+ is about 80% sharper than the Rift - when comparing native Rift res to native O+ res. But it doesn't mean you can zoom out without losing image quality 80% more on the O+. If fact increased depth is much less - after a rather long article comparing image sharpness vs. depth (in Quake and Serious Sam) we found:
Increase in perceived sharpness = (Image1 height x width in pixels) / (image2 height x width in pixels). In this case O+ could be 1 and Rift could 2 - rather straight forward. Anti-SDE may of course increase perceived image quality even further in this case - maybe.
But when you increase the resolution in 3D games, you also increase the depth, although depth works differently:
Increase in depth = ((image1 height x width in pixels) / (image2 height x width in pixels))^0.5. Note that ^0.5 is the same as the square root.
This explain why 80% res increase only results in about 30% increased depth. And that may explain why, as noted in this thread, that going from Rift to O+ doesn't provide much extra depth perception. But image sharpness ought to be a lot better - when comparing native O+ res vs. native Rift res (thus keeping ss out of the picture ;-).
So this is how far you can zoom out while maintaining perfect texture quality in Quake in 320x200:
And this is how far you can zoom out while maintaining perfect texture quality in Quake in 640x480:
Thus 4 x increase in res is equal to 2 x increase in depth.

*edit* I was looking at it wrong.Steam VR says 200% recommended for the O+ on my 1080ti - 8700k system. On my 980ti - 4690K system it says 152% for the O+.I've tried the 300% in Skyrim VR on the O+ and did see a bit less anti-aliasing but the fps got a bit choppy when I moved around my followers, but probably only because I'm running 4k textures on all my 4 followers...LOL!!! Everything else did seem to be still smooth though for fps. I then tried 400%, and that made anti-aliasing even better but the fps dropped quite a bit on everything and the jerkiness isn't worth it.
