New VR Headset Mimics The Human Eye

A new virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) headset, named the “20|20” has been announced by Finnish company Varjo, which until this point has been developing it clandestinely.
 
The team, composed of individuals from Microsoft, Nokia, Intel, Nvidia, and Rovio, have developed a headset that “replicates how the human eye naturally works, creating a super-high-resolution image to the user’s gaze direction.” according to the maker’s press release. It has 70 megapixels per eye — in comparison with the roughly 1.2 megapixels per eye of the Occulus Rift and HTC Vive. This will deliver a resolution, according to the press release, “more than 70X beyond any currently shipping or announced head-mounted display (including Magic Leap).” The headset will be on sale late this year.
