One thing that most people don't think about is that eye tracking helps improve the 3D effect too. Our pupils move a few cm while looking around and modeling this perspective shift brings us one step closer to 1:1 VR.

Plus it's possible to calculate focal distance and simulate bluriness of background/foreground objects.

A really cool VR game would be about alien contact. Just basically put you on the surface of a moon with an alien in front of you and use motion controls and body language to try and communicate.

There's a dreamdeck presentation where you are standing on a moon with an alien in front of you.  Really creepy.  Its cool when it smiles though.

Lol, gotta update like every couple of hours.

Yup that looks really good!

Hopefully next generation headsets aren't too far away/eye tracking mods are cheap.

Only issue I can see is the left wall is noticeably darker, but it's probably great without something to compare to.  

Nvidia says they're able to reduce pixel shading performance by 2x-3x compared to a scene not using foveated rendering.

Really exciting.

I am interested in knowing how well this works.

That's not too bad looking, and they talked about simulating focus!
