| Aug 2, 2016 at 15:33 | comment | added | Elva | I am not that smart but probably. The lenses make subpixel rendering really hard I'd imagine. VR hasn't been around for that long so who knows what clever things we can figure out in time! | |
| Aug 2, 2016 at 15:13 | comment | added | George | For example: could one somehow make it so that instead of projecting text from a picture, one could still somehow "do anti aliasing on a known background and subpixel rendering"? Or somehow avoid re-sampling? | |
| Aug 2, 2016 at 15:13 | comment | added | George | Practically, do you think this is then mostly an overall resolution issue? That is, is the only way, in all practicality, to fix this problem to make the overall resolution better, or do you think with enough sweat and cleverness and manpower (lol), one could take an existing headset and make text significantly more readable with existing technology? | |
