2,560x1,440 or 577ppi res at 5.1 inches. IT also has a 6x power advantage over lcd and oled screens. Wonder if this will make its way to the rift or something similar

That's a mirasol tech though, I remember it has low refresh rate. Rift needs fast display as well as high res. I'm pretty sure there will be 5" LCD or OLED with that res but with faster refresh.
It might be designed to use dithering at a much smaller effective resolution.

ANdrew Scott Reise an co-founder / dev at Oculus was struck by a car during a police chase and has passed away.
Very sad news.

Such a random event... Life can be so precarious.http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/11/oculus-rift-hd-prototype-vr-headset-hands/
Rift HD prototype at e3 hands on with video its a 1080x1920 vs 1280x800 panel. They seem to like it a lot. I hope we get something like this in the consumer verison

Are you F*ing kidding me? Ars Techinca reported he left id software that was why I am surprised.

However other sites say he retains ties. Hopefully he is replacing armadillo aerospace activities with this. It sounded like that was winding down.

Leonar3Do Virtual Reality Kit
Have you ever heard about Leonar3Do Virtual Reality kit?
It is an integrated software and hardware platform, which is capable of creating an entire three-dimensional virtual reality environment. It enables the transformation of the traditional configuration of desktop computers (or other devices) into an interactive complete three-dimensional work environment. By using this virtual reality kit, creation, manipulation and analysis of three-dimensional objects are feasible in a real three-dimensional space.
A fancy demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB_wGmjRMmI
Leonar3Do's fresh development is Leopoly, which is compatible with Leap Motion. Leopoly is an online, social 3D sculpting application, developed by Leonar3Do International. The application was born to narrow the gap between professionals and beginners in 3D design and think of digital creation in a new and fun way. We can state certainty, that Leopoly brings you the easiest, most fun and intuitive tool, to prepare files for 3D printing.
Leopoly’s full Leap Motion compatibility allows users to grab any 3D object in space and simply sculpt them on with their hands as they would do virtual pottery. Leap Motion’s hand and finger motion sensor brings a revolutionary new approach to Leopoly in 3D design, requiring no input device, only our hands to contact and shape any object in space. The fallowing video may represent this immersive experience: Take a look for yourself!
BETA plugin for your Leap Motion is now free, so don’t hesitate to try it out!
Kind regards,
Simmons

Seems like they've removed the blurring issues using a low persistence display. Haven't seen a mention of the refresh rate. Also improved latency to 30ms from 60ms. They're getting into a good range for gaming. Trying to get it down to one frame. Bumped to 1080p OLED. Now comes with a camera to track head position.
They way they've removed blurring is interesting. I wonder if they can bring that low persistence over to televisions? I don't understand why not. If the tv is fast enough, it works. Maybe big panels can't switch quick enough?

Looks like it's coming along brilliantly. This is so a day one purchase for me. It's going to change my gaming experience forever!
Have you tried the 720p prototype?
Nope I've never experienced any kind of VR. But based on my experience with stereoscopic 3D I can imagine how incredible it's going to be.
Well, I'd heard that the pixels were too big on the 720p prototype, but I thought people were being too difficult and that the 1080p version would solve any problems… until I tried the 720p prototype.
Those pixels are huge! Well, they're pretty small but from such a distance they look enormous, you can very clearly see the white backlight between well-defined square pixels. Obviously the final 1080p version will be better, but I don't think it will look good until they get to 2560×1600, and I suspect it won't be sharp enough to match what you get on a good display until they hit 4K.
The Oculus guys themselves say they'd want more than 8K per eye: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/...esolution-per-eye-isnt-enough-for-perfect-vr/
Anyway, without going to such extremes, I'd encourage you to give the final version a try before you buy it.
A second dev kit release was just reconfirmed by Luckey, without further details. Hopefully reasonably soon.
Low-persistence AMOLED is a significant upgrade, but one worry is that the new screen could have a PenTile configuration. Carmack implied it would some months ago, and if being able to see the subpixel arrangements in the 720p kit is a problem now then seeing them with irregular PenTile patterns and artifacts could hurt the experience.
