Wow, that is both disappointing, and once again, not 1080p if each eye doesn’t get a 1920x1080p signal.  Call it ‘half eighty P’ or something.

And you are right.  An aprox is a 720p TV which looks nice at 32”, but if expanded to your entire field of view in VR it might not look that good.  OR challenges this, buy having you move your head around and tracking that – so you get a big 180 degree experience.  Even there, though they want higher resolution.

It's making a good VR headset look like it might not come out this year. :(

 

So, if you're watching on a 1080p TV, and you close one eye, it is no longer considered 1080p?  

Because according to your logic, one eye in that case doesn't get the 1080p signal, so it is no longer 1080p.  

It is the count of the number of pixels, not what your eye sees.  

If you stand behind an HDTV, does it become a 0p display?  

No, you aren't understanding how it works. 

If you close one eye you are still seeing 1920x1080p picture.  If you are watching a 1080p TV and cover half the TV with paper,  then you can't see a 1080p picture anymore.

They are sacrificing half the pixels.  So each eye is only seeing half of the TV screen so your resolution is halved.
