37 PPD is dogshit man.

I understand this is quite good, but I also have something like 20/12.5 eyesight. To me, using these things feels like looking through a coarse screen door.

E: For reference, I can comfortably count pixels on a 24.5" 1080p screen from a normal seated position.

I've been buying HMDs since the first Oculus, and I promptly sell them to somebody else. 37 PPD is a little more than halfway to "perfect" for someone with 20/20 eyesight

It is all a compromise. 37 PPD is well under the standard for normal "good" eyesight (aka. "retina" in Apple marketing), which is 60 (aka. 1 arcminute).

Doing more with a narrower field of view is easy, it is even cheaper. Doing more with the same or better field of view means you need more pixels and more computing power to drive them, so more expensive, heavier hardware that gets hotter and with less battery life.

People at Meta consitered 37 PPD to be a good compromise, and I kind of agree.

Just give yourself time and you’ll be the target customer then!

Notably the standard resolution of 96 DPI at 28 inches is 47 PPD.

37PPD is triple the Index’s density.

What in the world are you using as your benchmark to call 37 “dogshit”?
