Manny_S Yes, 7k total or 3.5k per eye is actually more accurate here. IMHO, for something to qualify as 4k per eye, it would be 4000x4000 pixels (8000x4000 combined, 32 million pixels) OR it would be 3840 x 4320 per eye. That combines to 7680 x 4320, or 33 million pixels, which matches the 8k TV and monitor standard.
The Apple Vision Pro is 7360 x 3140 combined, so most of its "pixel deficit" from hitting 4k per eye is in the shorter vertical count. That's about 23 million pixels. So no, it's not 4k per eye, but guess what, it obliterates all other consumer headsets on the market including the Crystal which has 16 million pixels. Also, with the pixel pitch of the uOLED tech, there will be much less space between the pixels! The combined high resolution with a low pixel pitch will basically eliminate the SDE for porn videos. Now we just need bigger 12k files from future cameras with high bitrates and good compression technology (like AV1) to actually take full advantage of it.
Remember 7k and 8k headsets don't even come remotely close to maxing out from 7k and 8k files, because you're only viewing a smaller 4k-ish portion of the scene at once. In order to take advantage of these crazy new headsets we need at least 12K resolution VR180 cameras. Even seeing 10K as a stopgap would be cool though.
