This is huge news. 14x more pixels than current headsets. Powered by foveated rendering making it runnable on today's GPUs. They even got this beast working in a mobile SoC.
This will be the end of triple monitor setups for those willing to wear headgear. It's not super far off from allowing you to sit in an IMAX theater that beats the visual quality of the real thing. Just needs another 2.5x resolution increase and it will be at that level. And this is to say nothing of how incredible and crisp VR games are going to look on this display.
Oculus were aiming for 4000 x 4000 per eye by 2021 (back in 2016) and things have moved quicker than they anticipated. I wouldn't be surprised if Oculus aim for a higher resolution panel than that for 2020 in Oculus Rift 2.
