4K is roughly 8 million pixels. I wonder if they’re including the front display in their pixel count. Or there actually is significantly better than 4K per eye happening here.
At any rate, it’s a lot of pixels. Not sure what GP is complaining about.
GP here. It's 12M because the displays are square, not 16:9, so there are more vertical pixels. This will look better than most existing headsets, but it's not enough to match flat displays. You can't think about it in terms of traditional monitors- this is 4k over your entire field of vision, which translates to monitor-sized objects at maybe 720p. That's why all the virtual screens in their demo are so big; they're very low density.
Remember the age of 768p laptops? It'll look like that.
They now published 24m pixel total, 12m per eye, i.e. 4k per eye.
