This is talking about right at the fovea though. Thats a pretty small space. I'm thinking we will see VR sewing in the next decade, because we'll find shortcuts to making it work. Sure hyper-acuity is hard, but its virtual reality, as long as you can make it look real it may as well be. What I mean by that is - perhaps we could use tricks like stacking high-density screens which capture different portions of the pixels. Say you've got 3 high res screens somewhere in the headset, and somehow they are routing to the eye. With optics a high resolution screen can be made even higher resolution but smaller. It still is a very difficult problem to solve for sure, but I think if there are multiple difficult problems to choose from, chances are we'll find ways to partially solve some, combine that, and have something like a solution as a result. With 3 screens you could have full scene for one, focused region on another, and fovea on another, and then optically stack that...somehow.
