I feel like VR wouldn't be worth it until consoles and mid-range PC's can output 4K, and they can afford to put a 4k screen into a VR headset for $250 or less. |
not wrong, but I expect it to become better rather quickly, as it actually only needs eye-tracking, which already operates quickly enough, it just needs to be miniaturized enough to fit into the VR set
with accurate eye-tracking only a small bit of the screen actually needs to be displayed at high resolution, while the rest can be rendered at low resolutions saving a ton of performance especially when driving a high res display
