I beleive this is a futile request because there is no hardware that I know of that, currently or by the end of 2015, could drive 4K per eye @ 90fps. :shock:
Running something 4K@90fps in something other than VR is currently easily doable with a hefty budget... but 4K per eye in VR? You'd need a friggin' powerhouse with quad titans... and I'm not convinced even that could have the required juice for such a headset...
And If it were possible, the 1K$ VR headset you imagine would not be the expensive part of the setup needed to drive it...
Also let's face it, I think a headset with 4K per eye would cost more than 1K$. Have you even thought of the pixel density that would implicate? Damn...
Currently the DK2 is a 1080p split (960*1080). Now if you were to ask for a 4K split (1920*2160) that would be more technically & financially feasible @ 1K$ per headset. And it would still require a monster PC to drive it.
Anyway, just my 2c.
