As a 3D-fan and owner of so many different displays since the VR-32, this one really makes me excited. They got that the studios are not the king of content, but the games engines are. Field of view trumps resolution when it comes to immersion and most other companies always tried to go for something that was focused on movies. I hope that this investment leads many companies to create true immersive experiences and lets 3D games break out of the 1st person shooter trap.



Part of our bet is that we are not that far away from not having to trade off field of view vs resolution.


In the long run, both will come together, as we have seen with the development of Retina displays on Ipads. In the short term, your eyes will never be fooled by the current levels (even retina) of resolution at the yellow spot of your eyes, but your brain will always respond to field of view which does not need highest resolution.
