I think people know about that but aren't interested because the resolution is obviously too low on current headsets.

Yeah that's why I never used the whole desktop either, only if I need to change a setting during VR gaming like the audio output device that doesn't always auto-switch to the Oculus Audio output. I never noticed you could show apps separately like this, cool!

Too low and all the surrounding UI is an impedance mismatch.

Idgi. What feels right has always been very high numbers.

There is a fundamntal tradeoff between FOV and image quality at any given pixel density (and there are other tradeoffs between pixel density and cost and compute power needed).

yeah. But a high number of pixels and a high number of minutes of battery life work against each other here.

What is this from?

Probably as part of the meaningful use policy in the US. Early adaptors were initially incentivized to move to EMRs off paper charts.

Today the incentive no longer exists. Instead theres a penalty in the form of reduced Medicare/medicaid reimbursement for practices that don’t comply.

In what sense is that an answer to "why were they doing that?" The entirety of the answer does nothing but give a name to the policy. "Why" would usually be understood as a question about the reasons behind the policy.

"The government was subsidizing the abandonment of paper medical records because they had a program in place to do that" is something you knew before you asked the question.

They decided that medical records should be electronic rather than paper. Why do they do the other things they do?
