What is the real, physical, display resolution of my VR headset? I have written a long article about the optical properties of (then-)current head-mounted displays , one about projection and distortion in wide-FoV HMDs , and another one about measuring the effective resolution of head-mounted displays , but in neither one of those have I looked into the actual display resolution, in terms of hard pixels, of those headsets.

These are another two (relates ones) of those frequently-asked questions about VR and head-mounted displays (HMDs) that I promised to address a while back. Figure 4: A pair of eyes looking at a virtual object in a head-mounted display. Why do virtual objects close to my face appear blurry when wearing a VR headset? My vision is fine! And why does the real world look strange immediately after a long VR session?

” The popularity of Google Cardboard , and the upcoming commercial releases of the Oculus Rift , HTC Vive , and other modern head-mounted displays (HMDs) have raised interest in virtual reality and VR devices in parts of the population who have never been exposed to, or had reason to care about, VR before. What this means is that, for most people, it would be impossible to focus on the screens of HMDs (unless the display is ridiculously large ( source )).

So, why do current-generation head-mounted displays appear so low-resolution? What counts is not the total number of pixels, and especially not the display’s resolution in pixels per inch , but the resolution of the projected virtual image in pixels per degree , as measured from the viewer’s eyes. It’s a good idea on paper, but the tricky bit is that it tries to measure not what a display objectively displays, but what a viewer subjectively sees.
