Wasn't there a Microsoft demo using eye tracking, where only the focused area of the screen was rendered at full resolution, and the rest at lower blurred resolution? It saved a lot of GPU power by just needing to draw a tiny fraction of the game, and it looked indistinguishable to the player. What happened to that?

You're thinking of Foveated 3D Graphics[1]. Despite being a research project, they still got a 5-6x performance improvement. VR will get foveated rendering eventually. The performance improvements are too good to ignore. 1. http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/176610/foveated_final15.pdf http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/176610/foveated_final15.p...
