In this video I talk a lot about MSFS, in conjunction with my RTX3080, was also mentioning certain things about how I'm planning on recording things going forward (in terms of capturing accurate performance data). But this was a great time, and let's not forget that an RTX 3080 is absolutely viable with a Pimax Crystal.

![Beyond Foveated Rendering: The Untapped Potential of VR Eye-Tracking
In this video, I talk about the importance of eye-tracking in current and future VR headsets.
Most VR enthusiasts will talk about how eye-tracking has three big baseline use cases: Dynamic Foveated Rendering, social VR expressions, and UI navigation. But those features are just the tip of the iceberg.
In this video, I look into the optics and gameplay innovations that wouldnt work without eye-tracking. From solving the Vergence-Accommodation Conflict using varifocal displays, to Intention Reading mechanics in games like Synapse and Switchback VR.
If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like and subscribe for more deep dives into VR hardware and game design!

![The Terrifying 1968 Invention That Created Virtual Reality
Long before the Meta Quest 3 or Apple Vision Pro, an MIT scientist built a virtual reality headset so heavy it had to be suspended from the ceiling by a massive mechanical arm. This is the story of Ivan Sutherland and the Sword of Damoclesโthe terrifying, state-of-the-art 1968 invention that started it all.
Decades before the internet, Sutherland envisioned the Ultimate Display: a room controlled entirely by computer graphics where virtual objects could interact with physical matter. In this retro tech documentary, we look at his groundbreaking 1962 Sketchpad software (the ancestor of modern CAD), the bizarre ultrasonic tracking systems used to achieve 6 degrees of freedom in the 60s, and how the PDP-1 computer brought the very first mixed-reality wireframes to life.

After experimenting with dynamic foveated rendering in various titles on the Pimax Crystal for a few days, I decided to give a few quick thoughts on my experience with this feature so far. This feature is currently in beta, and not yet available to all Crystal users, but hopefully it will have a general release soon.

![PC or PSVR2? - Which is the best platform to play No Mans Sky in VR?
I decided to revisit No Mans Sky on my PC with the Quest 3 and see how it runs these days via Virtual Desktop. Ive previously mentioned how the PSVR2 is (on balance) the best way to play NMS currently, but perhaps I was too hasty in that assessment?
Note: This wasnt originally intended to pit the PC version of NMS against the PSVR2 version, but as my ramblings progressed it sort of turned into that.
[0:00] Introduction
[1:26] Going back into NMS on my PC via Virtual Desktop
[2:32] The PSVR2 version is great, all things considered
[3:41] The PC version has improved with performance
[4:23] Consistency is king
[5:12] Reprojection implementation differences between platforms
[6:30] Quest 3/VD improvements of compression artifacts
[7:19] Consistency IS king
