screen door effect

Is it better to magnify the image of the screen on a spherical mirror "like telescope" rather than directly on the screen?
Can it remove the screen door effect?

  • would still be the SAME image, only if it would blur the image it would "disappear" ?!

    Hey are you paul bourke himself? Ive been going to that website for like 6+ years.

    anyways the screendoor effect is directly related to the actual RGB triple pixel. The only way to eliminate the screendoor effect is to increase the resolution of the display itself.

    Oculus apparently renders to subpixels, which gives a 3x increase in width resolution, because you are treating each of the RGB subpixels as seperate, renderable pixels. This is why you see strange colors on the edges of objects in oculus.

    I believe the net effect, whether it's a curved mirror or a lens, would be the same. The current Oculus lens leaves the highest pixel density in the center of what you see. Even still, the effective pixel density is such that you can see the space between pixels. As you move away from the center the pixel density goes down dramatically but it's not as apparent as it's closer to your peripheral vision.
