This is one of the main things these guys have been focusing on from the start. From https://simulavr.com/blog/technical-overview/ https://simulavr.com/blog/technical-overview/:
> For optics, our headset will feature a custom 3-lens design which, in tandem with our displays, will provide 36.2 PPD, 100 degree FoV (monocular). For comparison, this PPD is 3.27x better than the Valve Index (11.07 PPD) and 1.76x better than a Quest 2 (20.58 PPD).[1] (Our original target was ~45 PPD, but we decided to trade off more FoV for less PPD). Bottom line: Simula's headset will offer significantly sharper text quality than existing headsets (offering higher PPD than any other portable headset on the market).

> We just received updated lenses from our optics suppliers and ran some QA tests on them. TLDR: We're pretty blown away by how good things look in person. Even without software distortion correction, text and other fine details are extremely crisp. We can't wait to show this quality off in our review units.

> Though it's very hard to convey in these videos, the most important thing we can confirm is that the image quality is absolutely incredible. We've been telling people that Simula One pixel density is more than 3x better than the Valve Index, and nearly 2x better than the Quest 2.
Though, this is their word. They've yet to get to a point where they can ship to third-parties for review. They've been very transparent on the development IMO, but it's quite a bit of money so people are cautious and skeptic.
