Meta's CTO says they will start to demo internally "the most advanced pice of consumer hardware ever developed" so we may be getting there sooner than most people think.

  Boz's track record on that is not great. The thing he's talking about is already three years too late, doesn't have the display it needs, and are _fucking_ expensive[1] moreover the software is horrendously unstable.

  I mean what else would they be demoing? The tech that is worse then what is out there right now?

Threshold in what sense?

  I think they are hinting at parity with the resolution of the eye. however pixels is kinda misleading unit of resolution as it depends how far away you are from the display, and how wide the display is. for example a 1k square with a field of view of 3 degrees would have a better "resolution" than a 4k square over 75 degrees. You also now have to contend with focus as well,
