Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?
FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 days agoThey didn’t say that their VR headset could actually see both of the 4k displays at once. The highest resolution consumer VR headset is 3840 x3744 @ 90hz.
So it isn’t a lie to say that I can create a 16k 240hz virtual display but unless my face is right on top of it then it is like reading through a screen door and I’m only seeing, at max 144hz (Index). While VR/AR is incredibly promising, currently it’s certainly not a replacement for an actual monitor for high-end tasks (like gaming).

In practice, it very much is. My monitor is at 80 degrees field of view, so the headset is only directly representing about 1440p worth of pixels, but with the passive temporal upscaling of your heads constant micromovements meaning a completely different set of pixels is seen each frame, I tested and 4k still looks notably clearer than 1440p on it, so I use 4k.
It’s pretty important to use Virtual Desktop, as all other desktop streamers are doing it wrong. It seems no one else listened to john carmack about how important it was to use cylindrical timewarp layers for maximum clarity of flat graphics on the compositor. The difference from every other desktop viewer to Virtual Desktop is night and day because of it.
