They already have the pimax 8k prototype created, and the target is Dec 2017 to backers (if you can believe that). Also more news will be coming soon on the standalone headsets with inside-out tracking, using the qualcomm 830. People think that the sale prices on Vive and Rift are for competition. No, its a firesale on old gen 1 tech that no one should be interested in anymore with gen 2 on its way. As you can see, 4k exists, is doable, and is the baseline for the future. Think of 4k as the minimum baseline for all second gen. Once you see those comparisons above, no one will accept that screen door effect anymore, at least for VR porn.
4K displays for gaming is too hard on processing power. Games cant drive 4k displays, and no one really needs 4k on a phone. Its us VR porn lovers that are driving for higher pixel density displays. So we can see non pixelated nipples and for @maschi 's dick
I am actually a pimax 4K user. It is best for viewing porn but not so great for gaming. It doesn't come with motion control. It only uses gyroscope to track head just like smartphone VR. you can upgrade it by NOLO motion controller to experience all Vive game on steam but the control is not accurate compared with Vive.
I have been keep my eyes on that pimax 8K project also. My friend backed that kickstarter because he has a monster PC. For native 8K input it is recommended to have 1080ti SLI
I don't even have a 1070 yet. And there is NOTHING made for 8K VR yet. No game support it and nobody is making 8K VR video yet. So I think it is just too big a step forward.
