Welcome to the Tech Mem Ride Home for Wednesday, January 5th, 2022. I'm Brian McCullough today.

2,000 by 20,40 pixels per eye, or roughly 15.7% more than the Quest 2s per I count.

Also a comparable field of view of 110 degrees

and a comparable inside out array of cameras

that will track a user's space

without requiring an external device like the original PSVR's webcam.
