More resolution = more revolution

he is right Maddy25, remove a lens from your rift and put at 2 inch in front of the sony xperia Z and the Samsung s4 amoled display and tell us if it looks a lot better than the actual dev kit screen....

yeah, should try it out but unfortionatly i dont have a Rift yet, i will buy the consumer version

i tried the Rift at a event but i don't have one either but can someone here who have an oculus rift Dev Kit, would try to put one of the lens over a HD ultra sharp OLED Display, 7 inch or 5 inch and discribe here how it looks.

If it's great with a high definition display than the Oculus Rift will be a garanteed success and when the flexible screen will be available and cheap, the oculus rift will be a must for every gamer around the world....

oh yeah these thin displays could even improve the Rift in the future. i mean the Rift by FAR is the absolute BEST we can have for VR for now but i could imagine an even smaller and lighter device, ideally the size of common sun-glasses. i hope we will have such devices some time in the future with at least the same quality than the Rift

Do you think they will show a high definition prototype at E3....

Remember the lenses when thinking of screens. I tested the DevKit and the picture for each eye was something around 550x 550(A cups) and 420x420(C cups) if I remember correctly. The original panel would've gotten around 640x640(A) and 500x500(C). I could be off, don't quote me on that.

The corners weren't visible through the lenses so there was even less resolution.

If a 7" screen is used with the ConsumerRift, the lenses need to be different to not waste screen space.

Based on those numbers above, with the current DevKit lenses:

7" 2560x1600 panel would get around 1100x1100(A cups) or 840x840(C cups) per eye.
5.6" 1920x1200 panel would get somewhere around 960x960(A) and 720x720(C).

Well, the current lens profiles are a no-go anyway, for production units (unless we can get dome-shaped displays), given that they do not provide uniform focus across the viewplane. (incidently, the infamous screen door effect is (naturally) not as visible out in the blurry periphery -- has anybody experimented with different lens-to-display_panel distances and found the tradeoffs worth it? :7)

It's going to be nice, though, when a return to 5" leave us with less screen real estate wasted. :7

What I'm mostly curious about, is whether the currently used barrel distortion algorithm and its associated unit-specific parameters, will be sufficient for every future optical solution (backwards compatibility concerns, given that every title is expected to do the distortion themselves, rather than going through a common framework)...

i just hope they will also make a high definition model. What ever it will cost, i will buy it....

i agree, the current one looks ugly, they should make the one in the intro video of the website

It looks great but the screen must be High res to make it exeptional....

Maybe we will see a High resolution " Oculus Rift 2 " prototype next week at E3......!
