The Oculus Home app (GearVR/S7 edge) recently received an update that has literally blown everything out of the water in terms of quality. I simply don't feel like launching an app now, just want to look at the scenery. I didn't see anything about it on HN, so here are a couple of links about the update:

- dmix 10y ago> Static images with mip maps or proper prefiltering can go up to around 18 pixels per degree if you really want the most detail in the center. I'm not very familiar with VR. What does he mean here by "center"?
- dingo_bat 10y agoCenter just means center of the rendered scene. I dunno how to explain it clearly, but just think of wherever you are looking at any moment.
- meheleventyone 10y agoMobile VR works by rendering both eyes to the screen. The result is then seen through lenses. As a result pixel density is highest in the center of each eye. So in this case center means the portion of the screen under the midpoint of each lens.
