[QUOTE="Alex Atkin UK, post: 146060, member: 1290"] Price, size and weight. Trying to squeeze two 720p screens in while keeping it large enough for the lenses the work but light and small enough to hurt your neck, is hard. VR lenses work completely different to their other headsets which just simulates having a large TV screen in front of you. VR is intended to fill your peripheral vision so it looks like real life, you shouldn't perceptive there is a screen there at all. It also has to not hurt your eyes, be wearable WITH glasses, as I understand it just darn complicated when it comes to fitting the lenses in to do all that, compared to just beaming a plain screen in front of your face. Practically I see no reason why they couldn't just use a single screen of HIGHER resolution than 1080p, they already exist for phones and it could make the visible resolution closer to 1080p per eye. But its all about trying to keep the headset cheap enough for people to consider buying one, so 1080p is probably the sweet spot. I think the idea is to have the console do ALL the processing and so powering a screen greater than 1080p also becomes a problem as it will again be plugged in via HDMI. Accepting 1080p at the glasses put squashing it down to a small area of a higher resolution screen in the headset would mean having a processor in the headset to do that which again means more cost.
