@Mradr - Lets take televisions as an example. New televisions are about to be brought out and some will be 8k this time around. But whose going to buy them while they are ridiculously expensive? Even Oled and QLed television are expensive, so most people settle on purchasing a television that has just 4k.
Once these 8k television arrive oled & Qled 4k televisions will start to drop in price and the majority of people will then start to buy these televisions and not 8k televisions. So do you now see what Oculus is doing? They are catering for the majority and not the minority.
I guess it depends where you draw your line.if varjo VR1 is the equvalent to the 146inch samsung "Wall"and the cheapest windows MR HMD you can buy is the 32 inch HDReady setthen i would argue oculus are going much closer to the bottom end than the top..... I would be happy somewhere in the middle 😉
Cool - yea this isnt a trick question - I just want to know where people would stand if the majority could run it - but in real world we are sort of hitting the limit of phone screen technology right now. I think Apple is maybe thinking about releasing a 6k screen - but sort of them - I haven't heard of anyone else doing that or having a need to as the pixels at that point are already too small to see and that increasing it past 4k is just a power waste.

Sadly for me (I would have gone with the S) is the lack of IPD support for my 58 IPD. I fly with about 8 VR pilots and 3 of us have an IPD lower than 60 😞

to be fair we are hardly a representative bunch of the market oculus are trying to capture...... and even on this forum which must surely be biased towards people more likely to pay a bit more for VR we are split.

Yes I know its theory crafting - but I like to get your thoughts - anyone can jump in - but going off the scale of hardware and the current reasoning that Oculus wants to keep it low price as possible for VR -
What if the 30s is more than powerful enough to run 6k at 80hz even go as far as to say they did get eye tracking working for the 20s and 10s cards to be supported, but the problem is that the 6k cost WAY too much even though the hardware could support it. Would your argument that keeping price low still be valid or should they try and push something a bit stronger out? I bring this up because scale of screen technology is going to hit a wall sooner than our GPUs or future improvements to VR will hit. Our biggest cost in a HMD is the screen(s). Eye tracking sort of resets FOV cost and a percent of resolution demand. With a time scale of 3 years - that be almost 2 generation of video cards depending on release dates. Personally - I dont think this question too wild of what might happen by then. 4k already a thing at around 80-144fps - with 5k already hitting 30-45Hz - 2 more gen + software improvements along with eye tracking doesn't sound too far off to already be supporting 6k by then.

How many people on this forum own a Geforce 2080Ti that can run higher resolution screens? I bet a majority of people with a Geforce 1080 or less would moan a bucket full, if Oculus released a headset that only Geforce 2080Ti users could use with games like SkyRim etc.
