This is something that I don't see too many people talking about, but it's pretty huge. 

In 5 years, we will have higher resolution headsets.  With how fast VR has been changing, the resolution we are likely even to reach retina display quality.  We already have PiMax which has 2 4K screens. 


The big game changer here though is foveated rendering.  Michael Abrash was talking about removing 95% of the rendering resolution. 
That's huge. 
While technically VR has to do more work, it is also capable of cutting out about 95% of the regular work.
